- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

**Nice to Have**

- Experience with Prometheus-style monitoring ecosystems, time-series metrics pipelines, or large-scale observability platforms in production

- Strong proficiency in Go for production services; experience with Python for tooling, automation, data processing, or ML workloads

- Experience designing and implementing robust, scalable HTTP and gRPC APIs in multi-tenant environments

- Experience deploying and operating services on Kubernetes using infrastructure-as-code and platform configuration workflows such as Helm, Jsonnet, Terraform, or GitOps-style deployment pipelines
