  • Documentation: Own and maintain comprehensive documentation for all externally facing APIs.

What Makes You a Good Fit:

Desired (Pluses):

  • Proven experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and CI/CD systems.
  • Experience with GCP deployments and pipeline management.
  • Knowledge of Typescript/Javascript (for polyglot systems).
  • Experience with message queues like NATS.
