Requirements

  • 5+ years of backend engineering experience with production systems at scale

  • Hands-on experience managing cloud environments including serverless and event driven systems built on native cloud tooling (GCP experience preferred)
  • Terraform proficiency for infrastructure-as-code; you've managed real cloud environments, not just tutorials
  • Comfort with databases (SQL, ideally Postgres), API design, and async processing patterns
