Requirements
- 6+ years of backend software engineering experience, with a strong record of shipping production services at scale.
- Proven, hands-on proficiency in Go and/or Rust — you write these languages regularly and can demonstrate production systems you have built with them.
- Solid experience building and operating distributed data systems: event streaming (Kafka, Kinesis, or equivalent), time-series databases, and high-throughput ingestion pipelines.
- Strong fundamentals in distributed systems: consistency models, failure modes, backpressure, idempotency, and exactly-once vs. at-least-once processing tradeoffs.
- Experience with cloud-native deployment: containerization (Docker), Kubernetes orchestration, and operating services across at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Google Cloud Platform, or Azure).
- Familiarity with observability tooling — structured logging, metrics (PrometheGrafana or equivalent), and distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry or equivalent).
- Comfortable writing SQL and working with both relational and time-series data models; experience with schema design and query optimization.
- Strong engineering practices: test-driven or test-informed development, code review, CI/CD, and operational ownership including on-call.
