• Experience in automation frameworks (like Jenkins), caching systems, and web servers preferred.
• Mentor team members and peer review code. Focus on best practices for engineering processes and code quality.

Requirements:

• Experience working in a modern web-app engineering environment (APIs, SPAs, CI/CD, Cloud Infrastructure, Automated Testing, Git, Agile).
• Strong database fundamentals and schema design skills. You should be able to use ORMs but still be comfortable with SQL.
• Solid understanding & experience of setting up build & release processes (CI & CD expert).
• Infrastructure automation experience with knowledge of at least a few of these tools: Chef, Puppet, Ansible, CloudFormation, Terraform, Packer.
• Proficiency with one or more SQL and NoSQL databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, or MongoDB.
• Should be good with cloud-based networking experience (HaProxy, WAF, ELB, ALB, SSL, NAT, distributed multi-cloud VPC).
• You’re willing to learn various new technologies and concepts. The “cloud-native” field of software is evolving fast and you’ll need to quickly learn new technologies as required.
