  • Understanding of cloud deployment, scalability, performance and production troubleshooting.
  • Practical familiarity with application observability, including logs, metrics and monitoring.
  • Ability to use dashboards, logs and monitoring data to troubleshoot production issues.

Security & multi-tenancy

  • Secure coding and API security fundamentals, including authentication, authorization, input validation and secrets management.
  • Understanding of multi-tenant application concepts, including tenant-aware access and data isolation.

Preferred

  • Experience with ThingsBoard or similar IoT/telemetry platforms.
  • Experience with Grafana, Kibana, ELK/Elastic Stack, Loki, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, Tempo, Dynatrace, AppDynamics, CloudWatch or equivalent.
  • Experience integrating applications with log aggregation, monitoring, APM and distributed tracing platforms.
