  • Mentor engineers and lead cross-functional program delivery

  • Grafana / Prometheus / Mimir / Loki dashboard and alerting rule development
  • Python scripting
  • Experience defining and instrumenting SLI/SLO/error budgets
  • Incident commander experience, on-call rotation ownership, and postmortem facilitation
