5+ years designing and building backend systems in a high-level programming language (Python, Go, Java or similar).

Fluency across the modern backend stack: SQL and NoSQL databases, Docker and Kubernetes, and a major cloud platform like AWS or GCP.

The instinct to turn product requirements into solid technical design, backed by the discipline to cover your code with unit and component tests.

Strong communication and the confidence to lead projects and collaborate across hybrid and remote teams.
