• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of owning systems in production. • AI-First Engineer Someone who codes with AI tools by default, not occasionally, and has strong opinions on how to use them well. • Strong Backend Fundamentals Deep grounding in DS/Algo, concurrency, API design, and building scalable, reliable services. • Full-Stack Mindset Backend-heavy but comfortable touching UI, dashboards, or integrations when needed. • Systems & Architecture Judgment Experience making build vs. buy, scaling, and design tradeoff calls, and living with the consequences. • Outcome-Driven Builder You care about shipping value, not writing 500 lines of "perfect" code. • Mentorship Instinct You naturally raise the bar for engineers around you, through code review, pairing, or just how you work. • Rapid Learner You pick up new tools, stacks, and workflows fast without hand-holding.
