- Deep expertise in backend, frontend, distributed systems, APIs, databases, or cloud infrastructure.
- Strong system design and architecture skills for complex or high-scale systems.
- Strong coding ability and willingness to remain hands-on.
- A track record of technically leading major engineering projects from design through production.
- Ability to make sound technical trade-offs, influence engineers, and solve complex production problems.
Nice to Have
