Demonstrated ability to break ambiguous work into small, deliverable increments and move it forward independently despite ambiguity.
Strong proficiency in one or more backend languages, including Go, Java, Python, or C++.
Experience with cloud platforms, including AWS or GCP, and both SQL and NoSQL databases.
Familiarity with safe deployment and rollout patterns, including feature flags and canary releases.
