- Strong proficiency in Java, with solid understanding of microservices architecture, multithreading, and JVM performance tuning.
- Experience with mainstream monitoring ecosystems such as Prometheus, Grafana, Spring Boot Actuator, and hands-on deployment and configuration in production environments.
- Practical experience building custom metrics, dashboards, alerting rules, and troubleshooting end-to-end system performance issues.
- Familiarity with database and middleware performance diagnostics (e.g., slow SQL, Redis/Kafka latency, connection pool tuning).
- Good understanding of system-level performance concepts—CPU, memory, I/O, GC, thread pools, network stack, etc.
