You have a strong foundation in software engineering and deep experience running production systems in public cloud environments. You write clean, maintainable code and believe automation and documentation are essential to long-term success. You take ownership of systems end to end and thrive in fast-moving, collaborative environments.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering or equivalent practical experience
  • Proven track record operating large-scale infrastructure across multiple regions
  • Fluency in at least one programming language such as Java, Scala, Golang, Python, or TypeScript
  • Hands-on expertise with Kubernetes, Kafka, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
  • Strong commitment to system quality, resilience, and operational excellence
  • Adaptability and curiosity—comfortable learning new tools and solving complex challenges
  • Clear communicator who values teamwork and knowledge sharing
