  • Bachelor’s degree and at least 5 years industry experience, or equivalent work experience


Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

  • Mastery experience with some areas of our tech like Ruby on Rails, Kubernetes, MySQL, Linux, container orchestration, Networking, etc.
  • Experience building, testing and maintaining infrastructure templates/solutions in a medium to large size platform engineering company.
