AI & Data Infrastructure: Build and maintain the specialized infrastructure required for AI workloads.
Database Management: Maintain a diverse data layer, including Vector search databases (for AI retrieval), PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB.
Observability & Reliability: Implement deep-stack monitoring and alerting using Datadog and Prometheus to ensure proactive issue detection and resolution.
Automation-First Mindset: Maintain and evolve an active codebase in Python, Go, or Bash to automate repetitive tasks. You will also integrate LLMs into your workflow to accelerate scripting, documentation, and operational efficiency.

Containerization: Proven track record of managing Kubernetes in a production environment (EKS, GKE, or self-managed).
Software Engineering: Strong proficiency in Python or Go. You treat infrastructure code with the same rigor as application code (testing, PR reviews, CI/CD).
Data Systems: Hands-on experience managing relational and non-relational Databases
PaaS & Serverless: Experience leveraging and securing PaaS offerings to speed up development cycles.
AI-Augmented Engineering: Practical experience using LLMs (GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude) to increase your personal and team productivity.
