Requirements - Four or more years building and operating resilient backend services at scale. - Production experience with Go, Java, or Python, including concurrent or high-throughput applications. - Experience deploying and managing production workloads in cloud environments; AWS and Azure experience is sought. - Proficiency with Terraform and infrastructure automation. - Practical understanding of distributed systems, service reliability, and observability. - Experience using AI-assisted development tools to support coding, testing, or debugging workflows.
Nice to have - Experience with Docker and Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, database migrations to managed services, or network and mail-transfer protocols.
