  • 4+ years of experience working in a cloud environment such as GCP, AWS, Azure.
  • Strong programming skills: Proficiency with Go and Python is a bonus!

  • Collaboration and communication skills: Solid writing skills paired with the ability to clearly communicate complex ideas to teammates from both technical and non-technical backgrounds.  
  • Cloud technologies: Proficiency with Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, gRPC/Protobuf, Argo, Kafka, etc.
As a member of our team, you’ll enjoy:
