● Distributed Systems & Microservices: Proven experience architecting and operating services within a distributed system/microservices environment, including deployment using Docker and Kubernetes.

● Messaging & Real-Time: Expert knowledge of and implementation experience with message queuing systems like Apache Kafka for event sourcing, and protocols (e.g., WebSockets) for real-time data sync.

● Database Expertise: Deep practical experience working with, tuning, and optimizing at least one NoSQL distributed database (e.g., Cassandra, ScyllaDB, or Aerospike) for extreme performance and horizontal scalability.

● Caching & Statelessness: Expertise in implementing various caching strategies using tools like Redis or Memcached to ensure service statelessness and reduce database load.

Scalability & Performance Expectations

● High Throughput: Services must be capable of processing extremely high volumes of data transactions and managing millions of concurrent connections without degradation in service quality.

● Latency Goal: Achieve and maintain a P95 latency of less than 100 milliseconds for all core, user-facing data operations.

● Cloud-Agnostic Design: Experience designing and implementing services that are abstracted from specific cloud provider dependencies, demonstrating familiarity with cloud-agnostic practices for deployment across AWS, GCP, or Azure.

● Observability: Strong experience leveraging modern observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger) to monitor, trace, and debug complex, asynchronous, and distributed Node.js applications in production.

Startup Mindset & Delivery Goals

● Extreme Ownership: Demonstrate the ability to take full technical ownership of complex modules, driving them from architectural concept through to stable, optimized production deployment.

● Agility: Possess the adaptability and technical versatility required to thrive in a fast-moving startup environment with continuous deployment and rapid feature iteration.
