Preferred Qualifications
- Experience supporting large-scale data or big data application deployments
- Experience improving developer workflows and internal platform tooling
- Familiarity with production operations in high-reliability or industrial environments
- Experience with incident response, postmortems, and operational improvement practices
- Exposure to regulated, safety-conscious, or infrastructure-heavy industries is helpful, but not required
