  • A balance of building and operational skills
  • Excellent abilities developing in python and shell scripting
  • A high degree of comfort digging into noisy data with SQL, PromQL, and Pandas
  • Experience developing reproducible analyses / building dashboards and visualizations
  • Proven track record in attention to detail, with examples of identifying and rectifying data anomalies
  • A strong sense of ownership causing them to very carefully monitor outcome of deployed updates
  • Prior TL experience (2+ years) as this is a 0-1 effort with team growth on the horizon

Bonus Points if you have expertise and interest in low level details of hardware components, protocols, and associated Linux tooling (e.g., PCIe, Infiniband, networking, power management, kernel perf tuning) or visualization of large data centers and networks.
