  • Hands-on experience deploying and supporting software in production environments, including application monitoring, observability, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis
  • 2+ years of professional experience working with a modern frontend framework, preferably Angular
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to thrive in an environment of continuous improvement and open feedback

Nice to Haves
  • Experience building and maintaining event-driven or asynchronous systems, using technologies such as Kafka or similar event-streaming platforms
  • Experience with search and indexing technologies such as OpenSearch
  • Experience with advanced observability and telemetry, including OpenTelemetry (OTel)
  • Experience with Docker and containerized applications
  • Experience building solutions hosted in AWS
  • Experience with backend frameworks such as NestJS
  • Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
