SQL or relational database skills
Familiarity with TCP/IP, and UDP networking
Proficient with Linux/BSD, and shell scripting
Excited about what we are building at Alpaca
Proven track record of architecting and leading medium-scale projects involving multiple teams
Experience with Kubernetes or other workload orchestration and scheduling systems (we primarily use Kubernetes via GKE)
Experience with major cloud platforms (we primarily use GCP)
A passion for financial markets

Who You Might Be (Nice-to-Haves):

Knowledge of microservice architectures
Knowledge of clean code principles
DevOps mindset is an asset
Cloud Networking experience (BGP, VPC peering)
Experience in building low-latency applications
Experience with distributed key-value stores
Experience with CI/CD
A passion for financial markets or the desire to learn
Knowledge of Agile/Scrum methodologies
Experience with observability, tracing, continuous profiling
Experience with capacity planning and benchmarking
Knowledge of eBPF

How We Take Care of You:

Competitive Salary & Stock Options
