- A deep coding and architect mindset with hands-on experience in test-driven development (TDD), AI coding, microservices, and eventual consistency.
- Deep database expertise in schema design, query optimization, and scaling for both relational and NoSQL stores.
- Cloud fluency in GCP or AWS, including containers, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, security, and observability.
- A track record of shipping and operating distributed systems at scale with high reliability.
- Rigorous testing, code-review, and documentation habits that elevate team standards.
Nice to Have
- Hands-on work with AI/LLM services or real-time audio/streaming pipelines.
