• Experience supporting and maintaining data platforms such as Airflow, Databricks, EMR, Kafka/MSK, or CDC pipelines.
• Solid understanding of networking (VPCs, security groups, Istio, DNS).
• Strong Python scripting skills for tooling and automation.
• Experience managing observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK).
• Effectively leverage AI/LLM tools for automation and incident analysis.
