- + years of experience leading and growing engineering teams in: infrastructure, observability, platform, or AI systems, with a track record of delivering reliable production systems at scale.
- A strong foundation in distributed systems and a platform mindset: you build systems other teams adopt and rely on, not just for your own team.
- Hands-on depth in observability, AI systems telemetry, or both, whether that: means metrics, logs, and distributed tracing, or the traces, classification, and evals that power AI products.
