- Strong proficiency in at least one programming language such as Python, Go, TypeScript, Java, C# or Rust.
- Experience designing software components and owning technical decisions.
- Practical experience building and operating distributed systems in production.
- Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, concurrency and system design.
- Experience owning production services, including monitoring, on-call and incident response.
- Experience leading a small group of engineers through delivery, formally or informally.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
