- Ability to independently integrate and work with third-party APIs, including reading documentation, scoping solutions, and implementing with minimal oversight.
- Familiarity with Kafka or similar messaging/event streaming systems.
- Proficient in AWS-based infrastructure, with working knowledge of ECS, Kubernetes, and Docker.
- Comfortable with GitHub-based workflows, CI/CD tools, and Infrastructure-as-Code practices in a GitOps environment.
- Exposure to data platforms such as Snowflake is a plus, as is experience working alongside frontend teams (React/Next.js) to provide clean, efficient APIs.
