  • Act as a technical owner and trusted partner to the CTO, shaping the platform’s infrastructure roadmap

  • Strong hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

  • Expert-level knowledge of Kubernetes and container orchestration

  • Production experience with Terraform or other IaC tools

  • Experience designing and operating authentication & authorization systems (OAuth2, JWT, Firebase Auth)

  • Strong understanding of cloud monitoring, tracing, and structured logging

  • Solid knowledge of cloud networking, load balancing, and distributed systems

  • Experience operating high-load, production systems with real users

  • Hands-on experience with NoSQL databases (e.g. Firestore, MongoDB) and PostgreSQL

  • Backend engineering experience with Node.js (TypeScript) and/or Java (Spring Boot)

  • Experience with Linux and Windows system administration in cloud environments

  • Strong ownership mindset and ability to make architecture-level decisions

  • English: Upper-Intermediate or higher
