• Strong programming skills in Go (Golang) and Python, with experience building robust, maintainable backend services and automation.
• Extensive hands-on experience with at least one major Cloud Provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure); multi-cloud experience is a strong plus, especially in building abstractions over them.
• Proven experience designing and implementing Event-Driven Architecture and message queuing systems (e.g., Kafka, Google Pub/Sub) as shared services.
• Solid understanding and practical experience with CI/CD pipeline tools (especially GitLab CI) and experience establishing automated delivery processes for other teams.
• Demonstrable experience designing and operating Distributed Systems, with an understanding of patterns for creating reliable, shared components.
• Familiarity with Multi-Region Cloud Environments and strategies for building globally distributed and highly available platforms.
• Proficiency in establishing and utilizing comprehensive Observability and Monitoring platforms (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, Datadog) for shared infrastructure.
• Strong experience with RESTful API design principles and building well-documented, consumable APIs.
• Knowledge of Service Mesh concepts and practical experience with solutions like Istio in a platform context.
• Hands-on experience with Relational Databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL), ideally in managing them as a service.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to clearly articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• A strong customer-centric mindset, treating internal development teams as your primary customers.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, Pulumi) for managing shared resources is a plus.
• Experience with developer portals or internal documentation systems is a plus.
• Contributions to open-source projects, especially in the infrastructure space is a plus.
• Experience leading design sessions and driving technical consensus among diverse team is a plus.
