• Setting the technical direction, run design reviews, ensure consistency of solutions, contribute to development (~30% hands-on).

• Strong experience designing and developing REST APIs and microservices, including service decomposition and API contract design.
• Hands‑on experience with Kafka and event‑driven architectures, including designing messaging topologies for multi‑service systems.
• Strong SQL knowledge and experience with MySQL or PostgreSQL, including transactions, indexes, locking mechanisms, and query optimization at scale.
• Experience with Redis and caching strategies, including cache invalidation design for distributed systems.
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes in production environments, including capacity planning and scaling strategies.
• Experience with Helm charts and Kubernetes configuration management.
• Practical experience with CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI or GitHub Actions, including pipeline design for multi‑service releases.
• Experience supporting services in production, including monitoring, alerting, incident investigation, and post‑incident analysis.
• Solid understanding of distributed systems and integration patterns, including consistency models, service boundaries, and failure handling.
• Level of English – from Intermediate+ and above.
