  • Experience with Apache Kafka or other messaging and streaming technologies is preferred.
  • Platform engineering, SRE, infrastructure-focused backend engineering, multi-account AWS environments, large-scale cloud operations, and high-throughput event-driven architecture experience are preferred.

Benefits
