  • Deep understanding of modern backend architecture, RESTful APIs, and microservices.
  • Strong experience working with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) and/or NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB, Redis).
  • Solid understanding of containerization tools (e.g., Docker) and familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.

Nice to Have:
