  • Have worked at or intimately with AWS, Azure, GCP, or similar-scale platforms - built internal cloud, compute, or infrastructure services
  • Proven track record in designing and operating large-scale distributed systems.
  • Strong fundamentals in distributed systems, including consistency models and fault tolerance.
  • Proficiency in API design and development, with an understanding of versioning and SDK foundations.
  • Experience with Kubernetes and containerization technologies for resource management.
  • Solid understanding of high-throughput traffic routing and network protocols.
  • Ability to work independently and manage complex technical tasks.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
