Proven development and operational experience with high-volume REST and/or gRPC services (either server-to-server or mobile client facing).

Strong experience designing for containerization and orchestration (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes).

Significant time spent architecting, building, and operating cloud-native (e.g. AWS) applications with resilience, failover, and self-healing as core features.

Expertise in designing robust CI/CD pipelines and defining infrastructure as code.

Extensive experience with observability strategies and tools (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Datadog).

Deep understanding of modern networking and experience using traffic tools for tracing and debugging.

A fundamental appreciation for, and understanding of security, privacy, and cryptography (e.g. PKI, certificate management, JWT).

Hands-on experience optimizing SQL/NoSQL databases for scale (e.g. Aurora, DynamoDB, CockroachDB, Oracle).

Extensive experience architecting, building, and maintaining mission-critical distributed systems at large scales.

Deep understanding of distributed systems fundamentals and trade-offs in consistency, latency, and throughput.

A commitment to engineering excellence, continuous improvement, and the curiosity to evaluate and advocate for new technologies and patterns.

An ability to communicate thoughtfully and clearly, both verbally and in writing, to drive consensus on complex technical concepts with diverse audiences, including global teams and external partners.

A track record of building and sustaining healthy long-term relationships and technical influence within your team and beyond its boundaries.

The tenacity and perseverance to lead complex projects all the way from conception to production.

No formal degree is required. What matters most is your mindset, your initiative, and your demonstrated ability to apply advanced skills to real-world applications.

Experience using generative AI tools throughout the software development lifecycle to produce high-quality software.
