  • Cloud environments, distributed systems, microservices (AWS, Google Cloud, Kubernetes)
  • Relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL)
  • Testing frameworks (Cypress, JUnit, Testcontainers)
  • Observability and monitoring (Datadog)
  • DevOps practices and tools (GitHub Actions, Gradle, Terraform)

What Your Colleagues Would Say About You:

  • Proficient in English (our company language)
  • Constantly curious and eager to learn new technologies and methodologies
  • Experienced in solving complex technical challenges at scale
  • Maintain high standards for quality and reliability within your team
  • Coach and mentor fellow engineers for their development
  • Promote a thorough code review process
  • Active in designing overall solutions, not just writing code
  • Sought after for assistance in resolving difficult problems
