- Low-level experience with JVM, CLR, or other language runtime environments.
- Solid understanding of performance optimization, multithreading, memory management, and networking.
- Experience with modern CI/CD pipelines, observability tools, and DevOps best practices.
Preferred Qualifications
- Exposure to compiler or interpreter internals is a plus, but not required.
