  • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes or similar orchestration systems
  • Operational experience with distributed storage systems like Ceph
  • Familiarity with Python’s asyncio programming model
  • Experience with frontend serverless platforms like Vercel, Cloudflare Pages Functions, etc
  • Understanding of Ethereum and EVM-compatible chains, including L2 architectures like Polygon, Optimism, and Base
  • Knowledge of L2 scaling solutions such as optimistic rollups, zk-rollups, Plasma, sidechains, and bridges
  • Passion for learning and exploring new technologies and paradigms
  • Experience designing large-scale systems, breaking down complex problems, and aligning with cross-functional engineering teams
  • Familiarity with blockchain infrastructure, including RPC nodes and IPFS
  • Strong experience with database technologies such as MongoDB and Postgres
  • Solid understanding of monitoring and observability practices using tools like Datadog and/or OpenTelemetry
  • Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills, from orchestration layers down to system runtimes
  • Clear and effective communication skills, with a collaborative and service-oriented mindset
