- Strong understanding of retries, partial failure, consistency, idempotency, back-pressure, and operational failure modes.
- Experience owning services through design, development, testing, deployment, monitoring, and support.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills for client-facing consulting environments.
- Pragmatic mindset with the ability to ship meaningful value quickly while maintaining engineering quality.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with C#, Python, Go, or similar backend languages.
- Experience with API gateways, orchestration systems, connector frameworks, event-driven systems, or platform engineering.
- Experience with AI, LLM, RAG, agentic workflows, tool/function calling, MCP, A2A, or AI development lifecycle practices.
- Experience with event-sourced metering, quotas, entitlements, or billing-related platform services.
- Experience building enterprise-scale software used by multiple products, customers, or internal teams.
- Experience using AI-assisted development tools while maintaining strong review, testing, and architecture discipline.
