- A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field (or equivalent experience) and 10+ years in software engineering, including 3+ years designing distributed systems across on-premises datacenters and public cloud

- Production development experience in Go and Python

- Experience running containerized services on Kubernetes (e.g., EKS) with GitOps (Argo CD, Helm), CI/CD (GitHub Actions) and Terraform or similar Infrastructure as Code

- Experience designing APIs, SDKs or libraries used by other teams

- Professional experience with AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor)

Preferred qualifications include:

- Experience building LLM applications such as MCP servers, AI agents, RAG pipelines or chatbots

- Architecture-level understanding of React micro-frontends

- Understanding of compute, network and storage virtualization (e.g., VMware, Nutanix), and comfort discussing VLANs, VXLAN, trunking and route aggregation
