8+ years of professional software development experience, with a proven track record of designing, building, and scaling mission-critical systems and platforms
Expert proficiency in Go and Python, with a deep, pragmatic understanding of distributed systems, microservices architecture, and building highly-scalable APIs
Strong experience with modern frontend frameworks (React, TypeScript) for architecting and optimizing complex, data-rich web applications with a focus on engineering efficiency
Expert-level knowledge of distributed orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) and significant experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
Deep expertise in relational databases, specifically operational excellence with PostgresDB
Aptitude for defining product requirements and user experience (UX) and comfortable writing high-level design documents
Exceptional communication and presentation skills to represent and defend complex technical and product decisions to executive leadership and the wider engineering organization
