- Experience designing scalable, maintainable backend systems.
- Experience with observability tools (logging, tracing, metrics) and performance optimization.
- Understanding of concurrency, parallelism, and performance considerations.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to communicate technical ideas clearly.
- Experience working effectively with distributed or remote teams.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience or strong interest in AI-powered backend systems.
