You have hands-on experience with AI coding tools in production environments and observability tooling. You excel at breaking down complex problems, driving toward solutions, and communicating clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders. You thrive in environments that favor prototypes over proposals, are proactive in sharing ideas, and have strong attention to detail. You're growth-minded, willing to learn continuously, and able to mentor others.
