• Exposure to AIOps practices, leveraging automation and intelligence for proactive issue detection and incident reduction.
• Experience supporting production platforms, including incident management, problem management, and continuous improvement.
• Ability to mentor junior engineers, influence technical standards, and act as a technical point of escalation.
