- Experience with technologies such as ElasticSearch, ZooKeeper, HBase, Hadoop, Memcache and Kafka, with a focus on reliability, automation, operability and performance.
- 5+ years of experience with programming languages (Python, Golang, Ruby, etc.).
- Infrastructure as code is a plus (e.g. Terraform, Puppet, Chef, Ansible, Salt, Fabric, Docker, etc).
