· Familiarity with Modern Tech Stacks: You have practical experience with some of the principles and technologies behind our platform:

o Microservices and distributed architectures.

o Cloud platforms (GCP preferably), with experience in Docker and Kubernetes.

o Relational and NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis).

o Statically typed languages (e.g., TypeScript, Go, C/C++, Java, Rust).

· Clear Communication: You can articulate technical concepts clearly and effectively collaborate with your team members and other stakeholders.

· A Collaborative Mindset: You are a team player who thrives on collaboration, is eager to learn from others, and is committed to the team's success.
