- At least 3 years of experience in QA, SDET, or test automation, with ownership of quality across a software product.
- Strong Go skills, including backend test automation or integration testing, plus experience building end-to-end tests for web UIs.
- Experience with Kubernetes, React, RPC systems such as gRPC, CI/CD, and Linux fundamentals.
- Familiarity with monitoring and alerting tools such as Prometheus, Alertmanager, and Grafana.
