  • Production-level experience with Kubernetes (running and operating workloads) and hands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure), including Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
  • >
  • Experience utilizing AI-assisted software development tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) to optimize engineering velocity.
  • >
  • Familiarity with stream processing concepts.
  • >
  • Superior written and verbal communication skills, with comfort working in a globally distributed, asynchronous environment.
  • >

Nice to have:
