Who you are

You have 5+ years of experience in software engineering, particularly in cloud infrastructure and capacity management — you've successfully led projects that optimize resource utilization and improve system reliability. Your expertise in AWS and container orchestration tools like Kubernetes allows you to design scalable solutions that meet customer demands.

You are proficient in programming languages such as Python and have a strong understanding of infrastructure as code principles — you can automate processes and enhance operational efficiency. Your collaborative spirit shines through as you work closely with cross-functional teams to drive technical vision and roadmap for cloud capacity systems.

You are genuinely curious about improving developer experiences and have a passion for building open-source software — you thrive in environments that challenge standard thinking and encourage innovative solutions. Your ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders makes you an effective leader in your field.
