• Good experience analysing Thread dumps, Heap dump and GC logs and performance tuning and providing recommendations to the development teams.
• Software development experience - While many parts of our solution are implemented using Dotnet and Java , we also have details of the product in node.js, python, and other technologies.
• As far as other technologies, we use PostgresDB, MySQL as our primary transactional RDBMS, and we are introducing many other cloud technologies Redis, Snowflake, and Prometheus. Streaming technologies like Kafka, Kinesis, and visualization tools like Grafana are in the conversation. And containerization using Docker and orchestration using Kubernetes. We are an AWS shop. A background in Azure or GCP is also welcomed.
