Proven experience designing complex SaaS solutions with a focus on distributed systems and high-availability architecture. Significant experience with relational (e.g., PostgreSQL) and non-relational (e.g., Redis, NoSQL) databases. You should be proficient in schema design, query optimization, and managing data integrity for high-concurrency, time-sensitive applications. Practical knowledge of SIP for audio, Multicast, and web-based communication protocols. A track record of managing high-throughput data delivery and meeting strict reliability SLAs. Strong command of asynchronous messaging patterns (e.g., RabbitMQ, Kafka) and robust API integration strategies. Demonstrated ability to guide a team through complex technical hurdles while maintaining a focus on impact and delivery. Ability to travel on occasion.
