- In-depth knowledge of database systems.
- Familiarity with database replication, sharding and other techniques for scalability and high availability of databases.
- Experience in performance monitoring and optimization of data systems and infrastructure.
- Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
- Experience building continuous integration and continuous deployment(CI/CD) pipelines.
- Experience with security and systems that handle sensitive data.
- Knowledge of data security principles and ensuring compliance with regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA) through proper data governance practices.
- Lead and mentor junior engineers, providing guidance and support in their professional development.
