- Debug and tune systems across application code, storage, and networking, and mentor engineers through reviews, pairing, and technical guidance.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 5 or more years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record building and maintaining production systems.
- Hands-on experience with AWS production workloads, distributed systems, and large-scale data storage and retrieval.
- Experience building production data pipelines and owning services through deployment and on-call operations.
- A DevOps foundation that includes CI/CD, infrastructure as code, observability, and automated deployments.
- Experience running containerized workloads with tools such as Docker and Kubernetes, and familiarity with Terraform and GitOps tools such as ArgoCD and Helm.
- Relevant technologies may include Python, Go, PostgreSQL, vector databases, object storage, Kafka, and distributed SQL databases.
- Experience in federal or regulated environments, such as FedRAMP, is valuable.
