Familiarity with distributed systems, microservices, and service-to-service communication. Understanding of networking fundamentals, including HTTP/TLS, TCP/IP, DNS, and client-server communication. Experience developing or deploying applications in cloud environments such as AWS, GCP, or similar platforms.

Experience with Git, automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and modern software development practices. Strong problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to independently deliver scoped work while collaborating with a team. Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Qualifications Experience with TypeScript, React, or similar frontend technologies. Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform, or other cloud-native tooling. Familiarity with cloud networking, private connectivity, proxies, gateways, or secure tunneling. Exposure to event-driven architectures and messaging technologies such as Kafka, Redis, or Pub/Sub.
