- You’re comfortable with modern web architecture (HTTP, REST APIs, grpc, microservices)
- You’ve worked with relational and non-relational databases
- You enjoy solving complex problems with elegant code and clear thinking
- You’re fluent in English and confident participating in meetings and code reviews in English
