    • ElastiCache, RDS, Kafka
  • Experience working with OpenSearch or similar technologies
  • Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines, automation frameworks, and quality engineering practices
  • Expertise in microservices architecture, including:
    • Domain-Driven Design (DDD)
    • Clean Architecture principles
  • Proven ability to define and influence system-wide quality and architecture decisions across distributed systems
  • Experience working in complex integrations across multiple services or platforms
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to influence across teams and stakeholders
