• A strong track record of mentoring other engineers and acting as a technical lead on major projects.
• The ability to translate abstract business requirements into a concrete, scalable technical strategy.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science or a related field.
• Experience in a high-growth startup environment, with a proven ability to navigate ambiguity and rapid change.
• Mastery of modern development and deployment tools like TypeScript, Firebase, Sentry, ESLint, and CI / CD pipelines.
