• Strong proficiency in systems languages, specifically Go, or Rust, Java, or C++.
• Deep experience in API design using REST and/or gRPC.
• Hands-on experience with OpenAPI specification, including schema modeling and contract testing.
• Solid understanding of distributed systems fundamentals (consistency models, partial failure, retries).
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), Kubernetes, and containers.
• Proficiency with relational modeling in PostgreSQL and consensus-backed stores like etcd, Consul, or ZooKeeper.
• Experience with OpenTelemetry, metrics, and structured logging.
