- Experience designing production observability and building self-hosted or single-tenant deployments.
- Familiarity with AWS, Docker, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL, and effective use of AI coding agents with sound production engineering judgment.
- A completed or in-progress degree in engineering, computer science, or a quantitative field from a strong technical university.
