  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, etc.)
  • Proficiency with relational and NoSQL databases
  • Experience with RESTful API design and microservices architecture
  • Strong understanding of software engineering best practices including version control, testing, and code review
  • Proven ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams and non-technical stakeholders
  • Knowledge of observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, DataDog, etc.)
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills

Nice to have:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • Background in building internal developer tools or platforms
