- Have strong track record of troubleshooting complex technical problems at the systems level in fast-paced, mission-critical environments
- Demonstrate leadership and mentorship abilities, with experience raising the technical capabilities of teams
- Are automation-first minded, constantly seeking opportunities to eliminate toil and scale operations
