• 8+ years of experience with backend technologies in a public cloud environment.
• Proven track record of scaling and troubleshooting production systems or services while leading cross-functional projects with business impact.

• Strong fundamental knowledge of SLAs and SLOs, as well as ideas around how to implement them at a fast-paced company.
• Experience managing tech debt and driving engineering quality improvements across multiple teams.
