  6. Drive the adoption of best practices in monitoring, alerting, and incident response to enhance system health.
  7. Identify and implement tools and technologies that improve developer productivity and operational effectiveness.
  8. Partner with Frontend and Backend Engineering Managers to align operational objectives with broader engineering goals.
  9. Ensure clear documentation and processes are in place to support operational consistency and compliance requirements.

  3. Hands-on expertise with tools like Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Kafka, and similar DevOps technologies.
  4. Experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Graylog, Prometheus, or Grafana.
  5. Familiarity with compliance frameworks (e.g.PCI-DSS,, SOC 2, ISO 27001) and experience supporting audit processes.
  6. Excellent leadership skills with a demonstrated ability to inspire, mentor, and grow high-performing teams.
  7. Outstanding communication skills, capable of presenting complex topics to technical and non-technical audiences alike.
  8. Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset, with a commitment to continuous learning and improvement.
  9. Proven ability to work collaboratively across teams, ensuring alignment of engineering and operational objectives.
  10. Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience; advanced degrees are a plus.
