  • Deep experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) including query optimization and schema design
  • Extensive hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and infrastructure-as-code
  • Strong understanding of microservices architecture, distributed systems, and their trade-offs
  • Experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) in production
  • Track record of designing systems that handle high throughput and low latency requirements
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to debug complex distributed systems
  • Strong communication skills and experience collaborating across teams

Preferred Qualifications

  • Expertise in system design and leading architecture discussions
  • Deep knowledge of observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, distributed tracing)
