• Champion operational excellence by improving system observability, driving incident response, and proactively addressing reliability, performance, and security concerns.

You Have

• Demonstrated experience designing and building distributed, large-scale backend systems with a strong understanding of service-oriented or microservices architecture.

• Proficiency in one or more modern programming languages such as Java, Kotlin, Go, or Python, with a consistent record of delivering production-quality code.

• Experience working with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure, including familiarity with managed services, infrastructure as code, and deployment pipelines.

• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to navigate technical ambiguity, evaluate trade-offs, and deliver pragmatic solutions in a fast-paced environment.
