  • Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code tools such as AWS CloudFormation or Terraform.
  • Hands-on experience setting up and improving CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, etc.).

  • Experience with server-side web service development and solid understanding of API design principles.
  • Skilled in observability tooling and alerting systems, specifically Prometheus, Grafana, PagerDuty, and AWS CloudWatch.
  • Familiarity with service-oriented architecture and communication protocols such as protobuf.
  • Experience with NoSQL and relational databases, distributed systems, and caching solutions.
  • Experience with major public cloud providers (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • Experience collaborating in cross-functional teams and excellent English communication skills.

Benefits

  • Unlimited vacation time (company strongly encourages taking at least 3 weeks per year).
  • Fully remote team — choose where you live.
  • Work-from-home stipend to set up a home office.
  • Company-provided Apple laptops for new employees.
  • Annual training and development budget for every employee.
