  • Solid understanding of databases (SQL and NoSQL) and data serialization formats (JSON, Avro, Protobuf).
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines, version control systems, and build tools (e.g., Jenkins, Git, Maven).

Preferred Skills
  • Knowledge of monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack).
