  • Solid Python programming skills for automation and tooling.
  • Deep hands‑on Linux experience in operational environments.
  • Strong understanding of ops, incident management, and service reliability.

  • A calm, structured approach to troubleshooting and problem‑solving.
  • Good communication skills and the ability to work closely with technical teams.
Nice to have
  • Experience in latency‑sensitive environments.
  • Familiarity with monitoring, logging, and observability tooling.
  • Exposure to cloud, containers, or infrastructure‑as‑code.
  • Experience working in environments with strong automation and change control.
Why the role stands out
  • The engineer will work on systems where engineering quality directly impacts business performance.
  • The team invests heavily in infrastructure and automation.
  • The role offers the opportunity to solve complex problems in a highly technical environment.
