  • Proficient in Python, with experience using FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, or similar frameworks.
  • Experience with PostgreSQL/MySQL and data modeling best practices.
  • Familiarity with Redis, message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ, Pub/Sub), and asynchronous processing.
  • Experience with cloud storage solutions such as AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage.
