• Have experience building REST APIs, RPCs, SQL/No-SQL databases, Kafka, data pipelines, and streaming systems
• Proficiency in deploying and scaling services on K8s, cloud computing platforms like AWS, GCP, etc.
• Enjoy building distributed/scalable back-end infrastructure with a microservices-first design
