The candidate must have strong skills in Operating Systems(Linux/Ubuntu/Debian), understand their way around a UNIX shell and believe that where there is a shell, there is a way.
Good computer network skills – He/She/They understands how networks work, the OSI model and protocols including TCP/IP, UDP, ICMP, HTTP(s), DNS, DHCP, SMTP etc.
Virtualization and Containerization technologies
A deep understanding of Docker, LXD or Containerd runtimes.
Strong experience in running production applications on Kubernetes.
Comprehensive Programming Skills
Strong understanding of version control systems i.e. Git + GitLab/GitHub/Bitbucket.
Experience using popular CI/CD pipeline tools – GitLab CI/CD, Github Actions, CircleCI etc.
Strong knowledge of DBMS mainly but not limited to PostgreSQL is a must.
Cloud-first Mindset
Proficient in Cloud computing, specifically but not limited to Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services. Most of our applications are served from the cloud, therefore it is important to understand how the cloud works including products like GCE/EC2, Cloud Run/EBS, Cloud Functions/Lambda, GKE/EKS, S3/GCS, PubSub/SQS etc.
Automation Mastery
To avoid the hustle of manual tasks, it is a MUST to have an automation mindset. The main automation tool we utilize is Ansible, therefore it is super important to have strong knowledge in writing/modifying and running playbooks written in Ansible.
Must possess proficiency in infrastructure as code tools including Terraform and/or Pulumi, CloudFormation etc.

Coding Proficiency
We are hiring for a person who will come in to maintain systems written with a combination of tools/libraries and programming languages, so it is important to know at least one programming language in our stack and have at least knowledge of the structure of the other languages that we use.
The backend stack is mainly written in Python(Django as the main framework, a background in any other Python framework is okay) and Golang.

Observability
We need someone with the ability to collect, analyze, and gain insights from data generated by software and infrastructure to ensure system reliability and performance. This skill includes data instrumentation, monitoring, diagnostics, automation, collaboration, and a commitment to continuous improvement. It’s about understanding and improving what’s happening within a system in real-time to proactively address issues and enhance overall system health.

We need someone who can detect, analyze, debug and follow up on issues end to end along with the effort to enhance the performance of our applications. They should be able to use either existing tools and techniques to debug and resolve issues and write up RCAs on them, which includes our monitoring stack plus Sentry and other monitoring tools.
Understand the full software stack – and go beyond
It is important to understand the whole stack in terms of how our apps are developed, deployed and maintained to be faster in reproducing and debugging errors and doing the necessary steps to resolve them. Therefore they should not be limited in terms of their knowledge, not a must at the beginning to know everything but it is important to have the will to learn.
