- Strong experience deploying and running containerized apps (Docker, Kubernetes/EKS) in the cloud (AWS preferred)
- Ability to write secure code, design secure APIs, and operate in regulated environments (PCI-DSS, SOC2)
- High agency with the ability to solve complex problems without detailed instructions
Nice to have

- BA/BS degree
- A knack for out-of-the-box thinking in a fast-paced startup environment
- Direct experience with proxy architecture or tokenization technologies
