services, including templating, automation, and infrastructure-as-code
practices.
* Experience participating in on-call rotations for critical production
systems.
* Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics,
or related field.
PREFERRED:
* Experience designing, operating, or scaling logging, metrics, or tracing
