- Strong, demonstrable back-end experience with a track record of shipping reliable production systems.
- Proficiency in at least one major server-side language/runtime (e.g. Node.js, Python, Go, or Java).
- Solid database skills across relational and/or NoSQL stores, including schema design and query optimization.
- Strong understanding of API design (REST/GraphQL), authentication, and security best practices.
- Familiarity with testing, CI/CD, and cloud deployment (e.g. AWS, GCP, or Azure).
- Ability to work independently and deliver high-quality results on a short timeline.
