  • Proficiency in backup, restore, and failover mechanisms in multi-AZ and multi-region setups.
  • Skills in automation and scripting (Python, Bash, Go).
  • Familiarity with Kubernetes-based deployments (example operator Zalando for PG, Strimzi Kafka) and modern observability stacks (Prometheus, Datadog, AWS CloudWatch).
  • B1 or higher English level for effective communication with an international team

Your bonus skills:

Our ways of working:
