  • Experience with database technologies like MySQL / Postgres, Dynamodb, Redis, etc. and big data platforms like BigQuery, Redshift, Snowflake, etc.

  • Experience with Restful and Graphql concepts.

  • Have built production grade systems using GCP, AWS, Terraform or Kubernetes including deployment pipelines, streaming services, security management, etc.

  • Have a desire to work directly with technical and non-technical stakeholders and excitement for engaging in cross-organizational collaboration, working through trade-offs, and balancing competing priorities

  • The ability to navigate and execute amidst ambiguity to help your team, the customer and the end-user succeed.

  • (Bonus) Experience building backends in a private cloud environment (VPCs, on-prem) is a plus.

  • (Bonus) Experience working with generative or machine learning models.
