- Strong Python and Linux skills, including scripting, process management, and debugging.
- Experience operating services on AWS or another major cloud platform, including compute, storage, networking, and access management.
- Understanding of distributed systems concepts such as queues, timeouts, retries, idempotency, and duplicate request handling.
- Experience investigating production issues and balancing reliability, complexity, and cost.
- Familiarity with infrastructure as code tools such as Terraform and monitoring platforms such as CloudWatch, Prometheus, or Grafana.
- Experience with virtualization, VM images and snapshots, desktop application automation, batch scheduling, experiment orchestration, or sandboxing untrusted code is a plus.
