- Strong understanding of databases (PostgreSQL), REST APIs, system design, and security best practices.
- Experience working in fast-paced, cross-functional teams, ideally in a startup or scale-up.
- Proactive, structured, and self-managed work style – you're not waiting for someone to hand you a Jira ticket.
- Fluent in English; excellent communicator across both technical and non-technical teams.
Bonus if you have:
- Experience with AWS Fargate or similar container orchestration platforms.
- Familiarity with tools like GitLab CI/CD, Sentry, or similar observability stacks.
