• Comfort with the open-source version of Elasticsearch – no vendor support, no problem!

• Keeping a close eye on data health with metrics, observability, and planning for the future
• Squeezing out every drop of performance through tuning and capacity planning (we’ve got fun tools like Rally for testing)
• Automating everything with Terraform and Ansible – because who doesn’t love Infrastructure-as-Code?
• Sharing the love by evangelizing best practices with the broader engineering teams
• Rotating on-call – because, let’s face it, data never sleeps!
• Contributing to our AI agent projects by ensuring the underlying data systems are rock-solid and scalable
