uptime.
• Manage and optimize graphical systems (X, Wayland) and desktop environments (GNOME,
KDE).
• Collaborate with frontend and backend teams to integrate dynamic menu board features.
• Implement and maintain monitoring solutions (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or similar) with
custom metrics for device performance and health.
• Contribute to the hardening, security, and update processes for in-store Linux devices.
