Ability to iterate quickly: build MVPs, collect feedback, and improve continuously. Requirements 5+ years building and running production systems at scale. Proficiency in Golang. Experience with Kubernetes, Helm, ArgoCD, and Terraform or similar IaC tools. Comfortable working with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure).
