Requirements
- 5+ years of solid backend and server-side development experience, building complex and highly scalable systems.

- Strong product-oriented thinking, with the ability to elicit, refine, and prioritize requirements from non-technical stakeholders.
- A deep sense of ownership, some DevOps experience, and the drive to develop, deploy, and operate projects from start to finish.
- Able to navigate an organization and influence without authority — communicating effectively with engineers and managers as well as VP and C-suite leadership.
- A bias toward driving change: you spot opportunities to improve processes and accelerate technology adoption, and you act on them.
- High proficiency with AI-assisted coding tools such as Copilot, Cursor, or equivalents.
- Hands-on experience with public cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
- Fluency in written and spoken English.
