Experience designing systems for high availability, failover, and real-time observability;
Strong software engineering skills (Go);
Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills across distributed systems;
Knowledge of IPv6, BGP, Anycast, or advanced routing protocols;
Experience in managing large deployments on AWS, GCP, Azure, or similar;
Comfortable with cloud networking primitives (AWS, GCP, Azure, or similar);
