Strong software engineering skills with proficiency in Python and/or Go for tooling, automation, and data pipeline development
Experience designing and building data pipelines using streaming or batch processing frameworks
Strong experience with Redis for caching architectures, pub/sub systems, and high-performance data structures
Advanced Linux systems knowledge with understanding of kernel behavior, I/O patterns, and hardware optimization for database workloads
Experience with distributed systems concepts including CAP theorem trade-offs, consensus protocols, and partition tolerance
Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi) for database infrastructure automation
Experience with monitoring and observability platforms (Datadog, Prometheus, PMM) for building database observability solutions
Strong understanding of query optimization including execution plans, index design, and workload analysis

Preferred Skills

Gaming industry experience with understanding of real-time gaming database requirements and low-latency data access patterns
Deep MySQL internals knowledge including InnoDB internals, buffer pool tuning, redo/undo logs, and MVCC behavior
Experience building database proxies or middleware (ProxySQL, Vitess, custom solutions) for connection management and query routing
MySQL replication expertise including GTID-based replication, multi-source replication, and replication lag optimization
Cloud database architecture experience with AWS (RDS, Aurora) and/or GCP (Cloud SQL, AlloyDB) for hybrid database strategies
Experience with ScyllaDB and/or Cassandra for high-throughput, low-latency distributed workloads
Knowledge of MySQL sharding and partitioning strategies for large-scale data distribution and query performance
Experience building zero-downtime migration tooling (pt-online-schema-change, gh-ost) for schema evolution at scale
Container and Kubernetes experience for database operator development and cloud-native MySQL deployments
MySQL backup and recovery expertise including Percona XtraBackup, point-in-time recovery, and disaster recovery procedures
