- Deep experience with high-performance, scalable software in a distributed, cloud-scale environment
- Strong SQL skills and a deep understanding of relational databases
- Real experience with CDC systems (log-based or event-based replication, schema drift, checkpointing, and delivery guarantees)
- A strong point of view on infrastructure and API design, backed by things you've actually built and maintained
