• Experience with high-performance, strongly typed languages such as Go, Rust, Scala, or others.
• Experience with building and operating distributed systems.
• Familiarity with some large infrastructure systems like Kubernetes.
• Strong interest in distributed storage, observability, reliability, and cloud services.
• Interest in working across different levels of the stack, including debugging OS-level issues such as memory and concurrency problems.
• Ability to efficiently develop, debug, and support new technologies in a changing environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with application and service monitoring tools and techniques.
