• Experience with streaming or message-broker systems (Kafka or equivalent).

• Practical experience with AI/ML, or with AI-assisted development workflows.
• Experience with real-time or high-frequency data systems — acquisition, telemetry, time-series analysis.

• Scripting and automation across mixed Linux/Windows fleets.
