• Familiarity with Kubernetes and gRPC/Protocol Buffers.
• Solid understanding of databases, caching, and distributed system design fundamentals.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• Experience building or integrating content management systems for large scale media or data platforms.
• Understanding of metadata models, content workflows, and publishing pipelines.
• Familiarity with internal tools development or partner facing content interfaces is a strong plus.

• Experience with data caching, service orchestration, or scalable backend architectures.
• Emphasis on testing, CI/CD, and code quality.

• Experience using or integrating AI powered agents to automate workflows, improve operational efficiency, or support developer productivity.
• Familiarity with frameworks or APIs for LLM based agents, such as LangChain, OpenAI Assistants API, or custom automation agents.
• Interest in leveraging AI for content operations, metadata enrichment, or developer tooling within the content platform ecosystem.

• Familiarity with CDN, Cloud Storage, and performance monitoring tools.

• Exposure to tools such as FFmpeg, USP, or Shaka, and formats like H264/H265/AV1/HLS/DASH.
