## Preferred Qualifications
- Proven experience scaling infrastructure in environments with many thousands of nodes.
- Track record of leading architectural shifts from monolithic systems to microservices in large-scale environments.
- Deep knowledge of reliability engineering and high-availability systems; able to articulate the impact of increasing the number of 9s.
- Strong understanding of first-party infrastructure integration and unifying disparate systems.
- Familiarity with **observability**, **CI/CD** tooling, and infrastructure automation.
