What We’re Looking For Proven experience building and operating production distributed systems

Strong backend expertise in Java and data‑driven services at scale

Hands‑on experience with Apache Spark and modern data tooling (Hadoop/Hive exposure a plus)

Solid cloud experience (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and modern platform tooling (Kubernetes, Docker; Airflow or equivalents)
