• Extensive knowledge of infrastructure management, observability, and distributed systems

• Familiarity with Agile methodologies and the ability to facilitate some Agile ceremonies

• Passion for personal and professional growth and eagerness to expand technical abilities

• Track record of maintaining and supporting systems throughout their lifecycle

• Excellent documentation and communication skills, as we're a distributed team in multiple time zones

It's Also Awesome (But 100% Not a Requirement!) For You To Have:

• Experience with event-driven architectures

• Knowledge of containerization and container orchestration technologies

• Familiarity with distributed systems and microservices architectures

• A data-driven and customer-centric mindset
