production-grade experience with Go (Golang) and Java for building distributed systems and microservices.\n\nYou have deep expertise in JavaScript and TypeScript, with hands-on experience in Angular.\n\nYou have a proven track record designing and running cloud-native systems on at least one major cloud platform (GCP preferred), alongside a solid understanding of Kubernetes container orchestration.\n\nYou are experienced in building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, applying DevOps/GitOps principles, and using Infrastructure-as-Code tooling like Terraform.\n\nYou have demonstrated the ability to lead technical projects end-to-end and possess excellent communication skills to translate complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.\n\nYou have familiarity with event-driven architectures (Kafka, NATS), GraphQL API design and security engineering best practices (OWASP, SOC 2).\n\nWhat We Offer\nCompetitive salary and equity/options package\n\n25 vacation days
