Minimum of 4 years of experience in SRE or Backend Engineering with good proficiency in Go. You can read, write, and review production Go code, not just deploy it.
Deep understanding of distributed systems architecture and design patterns. Strong command of microservices fundamentals, event-driven architectures, and the underlying principles required to build systems that scale.
Hands-on experience with AWS (ECS, RDS, CloudWatch, Lambda) or GCP, and infrastructure as code. Proficiency in running production workloads and troubleshooting infrastructure issues.
Experience designing and implementing observability strategies using Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, or similar tools. Ability to instrument code for proper monitoring and alerting
Familiarity with operating and tuning production data stores (PostgreSQL, ClickHouse) and streaming platforms (RabbitMQ, Kafka) in high-throughput environments.
Nice to Have
Fintech bonus: Understanding of financial systems reliability requirements, payment processing resilience patterns, or experience with compliance/regulatory
Go bonus: Proficiency in Go is a significant advantage. Our backend services are written in Go, and the ability to read, write, and contribute reliability patterns directly to production Go code will enable deeper collaboration with engineering teams and faster impact on system resilience.
