  • Bare-metal and cloud computing
  • Networking
  • Data Pipeline Tools
  • Relational, In-Memory, and Time-series Databases
  • Kubernetes
  • Notification Systems
• Experience with cloud infrastructure best practices around automation, identity management, and security, having created and maintained infrastructure for production grade systems.
• Experience building highly available, fault-tolerant systems with a strong focus on performance, scalability, and load testing to ensure reliability under production workloads.
• Experience running chaos monkey, penetration testing, and other security best practices.
• Experience leading cross-functional efforts to launch products.
• Excellent oral, written and visual communication skills.
