• Good initial experience with containerization (Docker) and service orchestration (K8s)

• A solid understanding of data structures and algorithms, concurrency, and time/space complexity

• Exposure to relational and NoSQL databases, with experience in the Kafka ecosystem and IDLs like Thrift or gRPC preferred

• Ability to drive topics independently, think critically, write clean code, and communicate effectively

Our offer:

• We value work-life balance and have flexible working hours
