Requirements

- Strong familiarity with GCP (primary) and some AWS experience.
- Experience with Kubernetes (GKE), node pools, and memory-intensive jobs.
- Working knowledge of CI/CD systems (GitHub Workflows + ArgoCD).
- Exposure to observability tools (Datadog), databases (Cloud SQL, ClickHouse, Bigtable), and cloud services.
Skills & Qualities
- Strong analytical and problem-solving ability.
- Clear, collaborative communication.
- Curiosity and ownership mentality.
- Fluent in reading/debugging code across Python, JavaScript, SQL.
Technical Stack
