- Experience participating in an on-call rotation for services with direct customer impact.
- Willingness to adopt and integrate AI tools and systems into workflow.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills.

## Nice-to-Haves

- Experience with cloud provider networking (AWS Direct Connect, GCP Partner Interconnect, Azure ExpressRoute).
- Knowledge of GRE, VXLAN, or other overlay/tunnel technologies.
- Experience with Kubernetes-based service deployments and CI/CD pipelines.
- Experience with telemetry/observability platforms (Prometheus, Grafana, ClickHouse, Elasticsearch).
- Experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., code completion, codebase analysis, log/data exploration) in a professional setting.
