• We need advanced development experience in Java or Python, plus strong debugging and troubleshooting ability for complex production issues.
• We value hands-on experience with AWS or other cloud platforms and container orchestration technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, or ECS.
• We require experience building scalable data processing and Big Data/ETL pipelines, including AWS-based or Hortonworks solutions.
• We expect working knowledge of core infrastructure, including routers, load balancers, compute, storage, networks, and cloud products, with the ability to troubleshoot common networking issues.
• We need deep proficiency in reliability, scalability, performance, security, enterprise architecture, and toil reduction, with the ability to apply SRE practices to applications and platforms.
• We look for proficiency in white-box and black-box monitoring, SLO alerting, and telemetry collection using tools such as Grafana, Dynatrace, Prometheus, Datadog, or Splunk.
• We want candidates who can learn and assess new technologies, teach languages to others, and collaborate across levels and stakeholder groups.
• We require strong foundations in software applications and processes, with emerging depth in a discipline and the ability to solve complex data structures and algorithms problems.
• We seek demonstrated experience leading effective use of approved AI-assisted software development tools, with the ability to set expectations for validating AI outputs for correctness, performance, and security.
