What they actually want (must-haves)
  • Background in SRE, platform engineering, or infrastructure with hands-on experience operating and troubleshooting distributed systems in production Kubernetes environments
  • Strong proficiency in Python and comfort working in a large, modular codebase that spans orchestration, infrastructure automation, and systems integration
  • Experience with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, New Relic, or similar) — writing queries, building dashboards, and using metrics to diagnose performance and reliability issues at the systems level
  • Demonstrated ability to go beyond detection to resolution: profiling services, identifying resource bottlenecks, and working with engineering teams to ship durable fixes
  • Familiarity with performance and load testing methodologies (e.g., Locust, k6, or similar) as part of a broader infrastructure or reliability practice
  • Clear ownership mindset — self-directed, accountable, and able to communicate priorities and status effectively in a remote, async environment
