• Solid hands-on experience with distributed systems - including message queues, pub-sub, batch processing, and websockets
• Comfortable with modern cloud infrastructure tools like AWS, Terraform, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines
• Quick-thinking, adaptable, and creative, applying first-principles thinking to solve complex problems
• Deep interest and background in trading, finance, or crypto platforms
