  • Golang experience
  • Experience using Golang for multiple software projects ranging from scripting to larger microservice-type applications
  • Some knowledge around the Golang build and packaging system
  • Solid software engineering experience, including shipping tools other engineers use (CLIs, libraries, internal platforms, or developer-facing services)
  • Enough Kubernetes and container literacy to help someone develop in Aura — Pods, Deployments, Docker images, and how software gets onto a cluster
Nice to have

  • Experience with Kubernetes-related developer tooling (Make, Kustomize, Helm) and with simplifying local workflows
  • Experience integrating software with Google Cloud Platform, AWS, or Azure
