- Production expertise in Kotlin and Go, or a strong modern Java background with enthusiasm to work primarily in Kotlin and Go.
- Practical experience with event-driven systems, asynchronous processing, and Kafka or equivalent message brokers.
- Cloud-oriented software engineering background involving containerized microservices on AWS and Kubernetes.
- Experience in data modeling and database management across relational datastores like PostgreSQL and NoSQL databases like Redis and DynamoDB.
- Fluent in Portuguese for squad interactions and possessing working proficiency in English for cross-team documentation.
