- Strong understanding and experience in automation tools and programming/scripting/descriptive languages (e.g., C#, PowerShell, Python, Bash, Terraform, JavaScript) to develop and implement automated system reliability and performance solutions.
- Strong understanding of observability, monitoring, and alerting tools (e.g., Azure AppInsights, Data Dog, Splunk, etc.) and the ability to design and implement effective monitoring strategies.
