• Minimum of eight years working in IT or Operations. Additional equivalent work experience may be substituted for the degree requirement.

• Three years of experience writing documentation or standard operating procedures related to system administration.
• Three years of experience with cloud-native apps such as Grafana, Prometheus, MongoDB, and Postgres.
