Requirements

Must:
I am seeking candidates with a strong Python programming background, who have experience delivering production-ready code. You should have proven experience working on distributed systems using managed cloud services, preferably AWS. A confident ability to provision modern cloud infrastructure with Terraform is essential, as well as hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI is preferable). It’s important that you can evaluate the pros and cons of different technologies, such as SQL vs NoSQL databases, and have a strong track record in test automation with a quality-first engineering mindset. Additionally, you should be comfortable working in agile squads with a DevOps culture and familiar with how Non-Functional Requirements impact the design of a system. Excellent communication skills are a must, as you will be working across cross-functional teams.

Your responsibilities will also include monitoring, troubleshooting, and supporting services running at scale in production. You will contribute to code reviews and architecture discussions while using Git, Confluence, and JIRA daily.
