• Solid background in application and system programming, and Linux system administration.
• Involvement in building Infrastructure as Code (IAC) and a willingness and ability to pick up and learn new coding languages.
• Deep understanding of security, reliability, performance, and cost-effectiveness of distributed systems on public cloud providers like Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google GCP.

• Experience working with Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) tools such as Jenkins, Ansible, Travis CI, Circle CI.
• API design and development exposure with Go programming language.
• Experience in cloud technologies like AWS, Azure, or GCP.
