- Typically 8 or more years building production backend or networking systems.

- Hands-on experience with proxies, gateways, API gateways, or other systems that sit in the request path and inspect or control traffic.

- Strong skills in a modern backend language such as Go, C#, Java, or Rust.

- Experience evolving a product across releases, including moving capabilities between systems without disrupting customers.

- Ability to work complex problems with limited direction and make sound design trade-offs.
