- Experience with microservices architecture, distributed systems, and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and message brokers (Kafka, RabbitMQ).
- Experience implementing CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) and using observability tools (Splunk, ELK, Prometheus, Grafana).
- Experience with NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Cassandra, or DynamoDB) and API gateway patterns.
- Experience working in Agile/Scrum development environments with a focus on high availability system design.
- Experience in building efficient RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems and state-management architectures for long-running agent tasks.
- Experience in building agentic applications or integrating LLM-based services.
