  • Solve challenges around scalability, reliability, and security in high-throughput systems.

  • Strong skills with Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS—including services such as EKS (orchestration), RDS (PostgreSQL), ElastiCache (Redis), Secrets Manager, and IAM.
  • Experience working in regulated environments (PCI DSS, SOC 2, or equivalent) and building security/compliance-ready systems.
  • Passion for performance, clean code, and automation.
  • Startup mindset: resourceful, curious, adaptable, and motivated to make an impact.
