- Strong familiarity with server-side web technologies (eg: Java, Python, Scala, C#, C++, Go).
Preferred KSAs:
- 8+ years experience building highly scalable and reliable infrastructure.
- Expertise in designing, optimizing, and orchestrating robust data pipelines (ETL/ELT) and ingestion systems for large-scale, real-time, and batch processing.
- Experience managing data warehouses (e.g., Snowflake, Redshift) and leveraging analytics tools (e.g., Spark, SQL, Python, Databricks).
- Hands-on experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD pipelines, and distributed architectures (event-driven, in-memory computing).
- Deep proficiency with modern database systems, including replication, sharding, partitioning, indexing, and caching strategies for high-performance query optimization.
- Strong understanding of data security, governance, and compliance principles.
- Experience with infrastructure monitoring, performance optimization, and active participation in architecture reviews.
