• Experience building production cloud platforms on Azure or another major cloud.
• Strong API, microservices, SQL, security, observability, and CI/CD experience.
• Ability to design systems where failures can trigger real‑world physical consequences.

Strongly Preferred

Experience with one or more of:

• WES, WCS, WMS or warehouse automation
• AS/RS, AMRs/AGVs, conveyors, sortation or goods‑to‑person systems
• PLC/SCADA or industrial integrations
• OPC‑UA, MQTT, Sparkplug B, VDA 5050
