• Knowledge of typical development best practices and tools for automated testing, continuous integration/deployment, and monitoring systems (i.e. Github Actions, DataDog, Sentry, Metaplane, etc).


• The ability to work both autonomously and collaboratively as befits the situation.

Preferred Skills and Experience: Nice-to-haves

• Experience with AWS or other cloud providers.


• Experience with microservice architectures and event-driven messaging systems.
