-   Strong software architecture and system design skills
-   Experience with distributed systems and messaging technologies (RabbitMQ, Kafka, or similar)
-   Strong understanding of scalability, reliability, and performance optimization
-   Solid SQL and database design experience
-   Experience using AI agents and AI-assisted development tools in the coding process (e.g. Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini)
-   Ability to work independently and make strategic technical decisions

-   Strong spoken and written English

### Nice to Have
