• • Lead architectural discussions and drive technical decisions for large-scale distributed systems and microservices.
• • Build tools and services in Python and Go to automate operational workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment processes.

• Strong proficiency in Go and Python for building backend services and automation tools.
• Proven experience designing, deploying, and operating cloud-native systems (e.g., Kubernetes, service meshes, autoscaling infrastructure).
• Deep understanding of distributed systems, networking, caching, and resilient design patterns.
• Expertise in CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker), and orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Experience with observability tooling (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Datadog).
• Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code tools (e.g., Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible).
• Demonstrated technical leadership across engineering teams, especially in the context of shared platforms or infrastructure.
• Proven experience mentoring engineers within your team and helping foster a culture of technical growth.
• Experience with zero-downtime deployments and blue/green or canary rollouts.
• Prior work with high-throughput, low-latency systems at scale (millions of users or transactions).
• Contributions to open-source infrastructure tools or frameworks.
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks (SOC 2, HIPAA, etc.) in cloud infrastructure.
• Hands-on experience integrating with billing platforms like Zuora, including API usage, data synchronization, and operational monitoring.
• Degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
