• Work with cloud infrastructure on GCP and AWS, primarily on GKE
• Improve observability, reliability, and operational excellence across the systems you contribute to
• Partner with product and data science teams to deliver impactful solutions
• Contribute to code reviews, documentation, and knowledge sharing across the team
• Stay current with evolving web technologies, anti-crawling mechanisms, and AI-powered extraction approaches

Must-Have Qualifications:

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience building production systems
• Strong CS fundamentals: algorithms, data structures, concurrency, distributed systems

• Experience designing and operating large-scale ETL/ELT pipelines
• Experience with orchestration tools such as Apache Airflow
• Experience with streaming or event-driven systems such as Apache Kafka

Cloud and Infrastructure:

• Production experience on GCP (preferred) or AWS; multi-cloud exposure is a plus
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes (GKE/EKS) for distributed workloads
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tooling such as Terraform

Background and Mindset:
