- Hands-on experience troubleshooting and operating workloads across one or more major public cloud platforms, such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
- Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language, such as Python, Bash, or Go, with a track record of using automation to improve operational outcomes.
- Demonstrated experience leading complex incidents, technical escalations, problem management, or post-incident improvement efforts.
- A track record of converting individual customer problems into scalable improvements, such as product changes, automation, standards, or enablement.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain complex technical issues clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Experience working with enterprise customers in complex, hybrid-cloud, multi-cloud, regulated, or highly integrated environments.

- Work with a technically strong team focused on delivering measurable value to customers.
- Help shape how a growing cloud security company operates at enterprise scale.
- Collaborate with globally distributed teams across Customer Reliability, Support, Product, Engineering, and SRE.
