• Expertise with cloud platforms (Azure, GCP, or AWS) and container orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Strong problem‑solving skills, debugging ability, and performance‑tuning experience.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to lead engineering initiatives across teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience working on Order Management Systems or large‑scale supply chain platforms.
• Experience with distributed tracing, observability frameworks, and reliability engineering.
• Familiarity with ML‑driven agents or reinforcement‑learning‑based automation.
• Contributions to open‑source Big Data or distributed systems projects.

What Success Looks Like

• You drive system‑wide improvements to OMS scalability, data processing efficiency, and reliability.
