Technical Qualifications
  • OS Internals: Deep understanding of Windows memory management, processes, and security architecture.
  • Languages: Strong proficiency in C# and expert-level scripting in advanced PowerShell.
  • Observability Tools: Experience with platforms like Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic, or Azure Monitor.
  • API Development: Proven experience building and consuming RESTful APIs for data ingestion.
  • Data & Analytics: Solid skills in KQL (Kusto Query Language), SQL, or similar log-analytics languages.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform or Ansible.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipeline automation (GitHub Actions, GitLab, or Azure DevOps).
  • Understanding of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) concepts like SLOs and SLAs.
