    • Proficiency in Kubernetes, containers, and orchestration technologies.
    • Strong knowledge of CI/CD workflows (BitBucket Pipelines, Flux CD) and deployment strategies.
    • Experience leading architectural discussions and making high-impact technical decisions.
    • Experience evaluating trade-offs having a strong, data-driven opinion on what to prioritize.
    • Solid understanding of security best practices, networking, and cloud governance.
    • Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence and inspire teams.

Experience That's a Plus

    • You’ve made significant contributions to improving engineering practices and processes in a growing company and have evolved those practices and processes over a company’s different stages of growth.
    • All of our software is written in Kotlin, Java, Python, and TypeScript. We run it all in Kubernetes on AWS and integrate and deploy with Bitbucket and Flux CD. We observe our systems using Prometheus, Grafana, and Sentry. Experience with any of these specific technologies will help when onboarding, but we only require experience with similar technologies!
    • Experience with service mesh architectures and API gateways.
    • Familiarity with authentication platforms, roles, and access tokens
