Requirements

What you’ll need

Solid software engineering fundamentals and hands-on experience building backend services or web platforms
Go is preferred for many modern platform services, but strong experience with another backend language is equally relevant if you can learn new technologies quickly
Building and integrating HTTP APIs, particularly REST-based services
Working with RPC or service-to-service communication patterns; experience with gRPC is a plus
Relational databases and SQL, such as MySQL or PostgreSQL
Writing readable, maintainable, and testable code
Unit and integration testing, debugging, and safe production changes
Version control and collaborative Git-based development workflows
Practical exposure to public cloud or modern platform environments
Experience with either GCP or AWS is valuable
Core cloud concepts around compute, networking, storage, identity, and managed services
Operating applications in at least one public cloud environment, preferably GCP or AWS
Containers and Docker
Basic orchestration concepts; practical Kubernetes experience is useful but not required to be expert level
Infrastructure as Code concepts and working with existing Terraform modules or similar tooling
Experience with services such as Pub/Sub, IAM, Cloud SQL, GKE, EC2, S3, or equivalent cloud services is useful
Understanding the fundamentals of distributed systems and having practical exposure to at least some event-driven and message-based systems
Asynchronous processing and background workflows
Participating in production incident investigation and root-cause analysis
