• Solid experience with Rust common stack, including but not limited to Tokio, Axum, Tonic, Hyper, Bytes, Serde, Tracing, etc. Experience with pingora stack is a big plus.
• Deep understanding of distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and performance engineering.
• Experience with cloud-native technologies (e.g., Kubernetes, gRPC, CDN, S3, Terraform) and modern observability stacks.
• Familiarity with relational and non-relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, Redis, Clickhouse, etc.).
• Strong alignment with engineering craftsmanship — testing, documentation, reliability, and performance optimization.
• Enthusiasm for using and experimenting with AI tools to enhance software engineering workflows.
