• A vision for software quality, evolution of systems, decomposition of problems and abstractions;

What would we love to see?

• Experience with deploying to and monitoring a cloud infrastructure especially AWS.
• Experience with computer networks, latency, package loss, routing optimization, monitoring and problem solving;
• Full knowledge of SQL and relational databases;

• Knowledge of data replication and conciliation;
