  • Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS (EC2, S3, ECS) and cloud-native design patterns.
  • Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, automated testing frameworks, and observability tooling (logging/metrics/tracing).
  • Exposure to performance tuning for large datasets and complex rendering workflows, with a track record of innovative problem solving.
