  • 2+ years experience in cloud-based microservices development
  • Experience programming with Go 
  • Experience building solutions with at least one cloud platform (AWS preferred)
  • Skilled in designing/building RESTful APIs
  • Ability to write clean, well-designed, and high-quality code in a highly collaborative Agile development environment
  • A mindset of constantly learning new things
  • Passion for growing your skills, tackling interesting work, and challenging problems
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
