• Strong working knowledge of distributed systems, including containerization, message queues, and parallel processing, along with the ability to apply these concepts in production environments
• Full-stack development experience, with deeper expertise and enjoyment working on the back end while remaining comfortable contributing to front-end development (React) when needed
• Experience delivering solutions across platforms, including web and mobile, with an emphasis on performance, scalability, and reliability
• A product-oriented approach with a history of collaborating closely with Product Owners to define, design, and deliver customer-focused solutions
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills and a collaborative mindset for working across engineering and non-engineering teams
• A track record of thriving in fast-paced environments, ideally within early-stage, high-growth companies or similarly dynamic settings
