• 5+ years of relevant experience in industry
• Experience architecting, developing, and troubleshooting large scale distributed systems
• Fluency with multiple compiled or interpreted languages, ideally including Go
• Experience with self-managed Kubernetes
• Experience in the design and implementation of high-volume CI/CD pipelines
• Strong low-level Linux skills; strace, netstat, and tcpdump should be old friends
