• Participate in incident review.
• Lead initiatives through problem definition, scoping, design, and project management.
• Act as subject matter experts within the GitLab Infrastructure-Platforms department, specializing in knowledge of our networking and rate limiting services.
• Automate every operational task.

• Experience with Terraform infrastructure as code.
