• Preferred Tools: IDE: VSCode (Visual Studio Code).
• Strong understanding of Python 3.10+ features (e. g., structural pattern matching, type hints).
• Hands-on experience in asynchronous programming and error handling using asyncio and tenacity.
• Deep knowledge of microservices architecture and REST API design.
• Proficiency with containerization and orchestration tools (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm).
• Experience in working with Apache Kafka or Confluent Kafka for message bus integration.
• Solid understanding of metrics and monitoring with Prometheus.
