* Knowledge of Kafka, SQL, c#, .Net, Golang or Typescript, though expertise in similar or alternative technologies is welcome.
* Strong leadership and communication skills
* Deep understanding of performance, scalability, and system design principles
* Experience leading or contributing to platform rebuilds or system migrations is a bonus
