• Strong written communication skills, particularly the ability to write clear incident updates and escalation summaries under time pressure
• Demonstrated ability to stay calm, prioritize effectively, and work methodically during high-pressure situations
• Familiarity with ticketing and incident tracking systems (PagerDuty, Jira, ServiceNow, or similar)
• Willingness to work shift schedules including nights, weekends, and holidays as part of a 24/7 coverage model
• Ability to work a rotating 12-hour shift schedule (8AM–8PM or 8PM–8AM), alternating between 3-day and 4-day work weeks on a repeating cycle; candidates must be comfortable with either day OR night shifts as part of standard rotation.
