Build reliable, scalable and observable systems using modern engineering practices, including CI/CD, automated testing and monitoring.
Contribute to technical design, architecture discussions and peer reviews.

• Experience building scalable backend services and REST APIs
• Strong SQL skills and experience working with relational databases
• Familiarity with AWS or similar cloud environments
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing
• Strong understanding of software architecture, scalability and system design
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• A proactive mindset with the ability to work independently and take ownership..
Nice to Have
