- Deep expertise in distributed systems, including event-driven and microservices architectures
- Strong hands-on experience with Apache Kafka — topic design, partitioning strategies, consumer group management, and operational best practices
- Production experience with Kubernetes — cluster management, Helm charts, service mesh, resource tuning, and troubleshooting
- Proficiency in Go for building performant backend services
- Working knowledge of frontend development — enough to build and iterate on internal tools and dashboards (e.g., React, TypeScript, or similar)
- Experience with containerization — Docker, multi-stage builds, image optimization, and container security fundamentals
- Cloud platform experience with Azure or AWS, including infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi, or similar)
- Strong written and verbal communication skills — you can articulate complex technical decisions to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
- A technology-forward mindset — you stay current with the ecosystem and have strong instincts for what’s worth adopting vs. what’s hype
