Event Driven Architecture & Streaming Frameworks ( e.g. Kafka Streams)
Your Technical Know-How
In addition, your technical expertise should match well to the following:
Experience leading the development of large-scale projects, e.g. breaking down tasks, delegating work, assisting in the creation of roadmaps and work back plans
Deep understanding of distributed systems in Kubernetes
Hands-on experience with multiple IaC tools
Experience with some of the frameworks and tools our development teams use day to day (i.e Spring Boot, Kafka Streams)
Experience with the development and operation of high throughput, low-latency systems
Hands-on experience with automating development workflow pipelines (CI/CD)
Operational experience (i.e. on-call rotation, incident response)
Ability to collaborate effectively with remote peers across disparate geographies and time zones
Excellent written and verbal communication skills with particular emphasis on technical documentation (including diagramming)
Strong CS fundamentals
