• Proven track record of applying observability and APM tooling, performance monitoring, and CDN/edge delivery practices to improve system reliability and speed, and contributing to code quality, design consistency, and operational reliability across the team
• Demonstrated ability to evaluate and adopt AI coding tools (such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, or Copilot) to raise team throughput and reduce toil, while maintaining a high review and quality bar
