• Strong scripting skills (e.g. Bash, Python).

• Ability to contribute to architectural planning and system design.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, especially in complex or ambiguous
environments.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with Elasticsearch in production.
• Exposure to AI/ML infrastructure or data/compute-heavy environments.
• Working knowledge of cloud architecture and distributed systems.
• Experience with databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis.
• Experience working directly with internal or external customers to support and
troubleshoot complex systems.
• Background in a startup or high-growth tech environment.
