• Experience with Elasticsearch or OpenSearch, including query design, aggregations, and performance considerations.
• Comfort working with infrastructure and CI/CD tools such as Terraform, Serverless Framework, Docker, Jenkins, Git, and GitHub Actions.
• A practical understanding of AWS cost management, resource efficiency, and basic FinOps principles.
• A collaborative engineering mindset grounded in Trust, with sound judgment, accountability, and care for production-quality work.
• A commitment to Teamwork, including partnering with product, QA, data engineering, and other cross-functional stakeholders to deliver durable solutions.
• Clear Transparency in technical communication, tradeoff discussions, documentation, and risk escalation.
• Strong Agility, with the ability to adapt across backend, frontend, data, and infrastructure priorities in a lean engineering environment.
• An Entrepreneurial Spirit, bringing ownership, curiosity, and initiative to ambiguous problems and new platform opportunities.
