• Exposure to distributed systems or event-driven architectures
• Familiarity with Docker or containerized environments
• Experience with message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ)
• Exposure to cloud platforms such as AWS

Benefits

• Work on technically challenging backend systems, not just basic applications
• Gain exposure to distributed systems and networking-heavy platforms
• Learn from experienced engineers in a strong engineering culture
• Build the foundation to grow into senior backend or distributed systems roles
