Experience designing, building, and maintaining scalable Back End systems
Comfortable working with APIs, databases, and distributed systems
Strong problem-solving skills and a pragmatic approach to debugging and refactoring

Product-minded - able to think beyond the code and understand real user impact
Experience working in fast-paced environments with evolving requirements
Collaborative communicator who enjoys working closely with engineers, product, and design
