-
Proven track record designing scalable, distributed systems and microservices architectures in production environments.
-
Expertise in Go or Python with a commitment to clean, idiomatic, maintainable code.
-
Experience building data pipelines, observability systems, and monitoring infrastructure for production services.
-
Hands-on experience with DevOps tooling, infrastructure-as-code, and cloud-native technologies.
-
Experience integrating or working with LLM-based systems, AI workflows, or multi-agent architectures.
-
Track record of building 0-to-1 systems or products from inception in startup or early-stage environments.
-
Demonstrated skill in performance tuning, debugging complex systems, and technical architecture design.
-
Practical experience with fault-tolerant workflow design and resilience patterns in mission-critical services.
-
Comfort and proficiency with AI-assisted development tools.
-
Strong computer science fundamentals; graduate-level education is a plus.
-
Domain experience in cloud architecture, infrastructure optimization, or technology stack modernization is a bonus.
