  • Enterprise-grade software — adopt best security practices in adherence to privacy and compliance policies.

  • Collaborate across teams — integrate models into production, define data contracts with frontend, product, and partner with DevOps for smooth deployments.

  • Cloud: Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or Azure).

  • Databases: Strong knowledge of SQL (Postgres/MySQL) and NoSQL (Cassandra/Scylla DB) including schema design, query optimization, and scaling.

  • Event-driven: Experience with message brokers (Kafka, RabbitMQ), or streaming systems.

  • Programming: Proficiency in algorithms, data structures, and patterns such as asynchronous programming.

  • APIs & Frameworks: Experience building and scaling Websocket/gRPC/WebRTC/REST APIs.

  • Observability: Experience with logging, monitoring, and tracing tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, OpenTelemetry).

  • Problem-Solving: Strong debugging skills and ability to optimize for performance, scalability, and reliability.

  • Ownership: Proven ability to own features end-to-end, review code, and experience driving process or architecture improvements.

Good to Have

  • Full-stack: End-to-end ownership of the stack from feature requirement to delivery, encompassing both backend and frontend technologies such as React, Typescript, NextJS.

  • CI/CD: Experience with setting up CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment.
