• Experience building systems that stay healthy on their own: health monitoring, fault detection, and automated recovery.
• Familiarity with running workloads on physical test hardware (phones, computers, consoles) is a strong plus; comfort getting hands-on with real devices.
• Experience with end-to-end or integration testing of real applications, not just unit tests or standard CI pipelines, is a plus.
