    .NET Core
    ,
    C#
    , and modern cloud architecture
  • Proficiency with
    Kubernetes

  • Experience designing
    event-driven
    ,
    high-throughput

    fault-tolerant
    systems

    , and infrastructure-as-code principles
  • Knowledge of concurrency, multi-threading, and low-latency programming
  • The ability to communicate clearly and collaborate across teams and time zones
  • A love of product-driven engineering — building for performance, reliability, and the fan experience
