• Design + manage deployments of popular open-source systems such as Postgres, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch, FastAPI, NextJS, and others
• Architect + configure virtual networking in order to facilitate secure communication between internal platform components/systems and external traffic between trusted sources

• Software development experience outside of DevOps/Infrastructure
• Demonstrated track-record of strong collaboration and cross-functional work
• Firm understanding of distributed systems + underlying technology and algorithms
• Experience in a production software development environment (version control, automated testing, build tools)

Nice-to-have(s):

• Experience with Terraform provisioning infrastructure
• Experience with Ansible configuring infrastructure
• Production experience with Kubernetes (Managed Kubernetes, Helm, kubectl, etc.)
