- Proven experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi, or similar)
- Solid experience with message brokers and event streaming platforms such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, NATS, or similar technologies
- Strong knowledge of relational and non-relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB, or DynamoDB)
- Experience implementing CI/CD pipelines and automated testing strategies, including unit, integration, and end-to-end testing
- Familiarity with observability and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or similar)

- Experience mentoring junior and mid-level engineers and contributing to architectural decision-making processes
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams including product, design, and DevOps
- A proactive, ownership-driven mindset with a passion for writing clean, well-documented, and testable code
