- Solid programming fundamentals and familiarity with at least one backend language (Go, Python, Node, etc.).
- Curiosity and a desire to understand how complex systems fit together.
- Eagerness to learn from others and contribute to a collaborative, high-performing team.
- Strong communication and problem-solving skills.
