- Develop execution models for stateful, long-running workflows, including branching, retries, fan-out, joins, and recovery.
- Design and implement routing, decision, and event-correlation algorithms with strong correctness and idempotency guarantees.
- Build event-driven and asynchronous pipelines using systems such as Apache Kafka, Google Pub-sub, Amazon Simple Queue Service, or Amazon Simple Notification Service.
- Design and manage workflow state, execution history, and intermediate data using storage solutions such as PostgreSQL, Amazon DynamoDB, and Redis.
- Own backend services end-to-end, including deployment, monitoring, on-call support, and production incident resolution on Amazon Web Services.

- Strong data modeling skills using SQL and NoSQL databases such as PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, or Redis.
- Experience working with cloud infrastructure (GCP/AWS) and modern development practices, including CI/CD and containerization.
Experience we consider a plus:
- Experience building customer journey orchestration, campaign automation, or messaging platforms.
- Exposure to state machines, DAG execution engines, or workflow orchestration frameworks.
