You enjoy solving problems collaboratively, writing reliable software, and learning from feedback. The ideal candidate will bring:

• Previous professional or internship experience designing, developing, and launching backend systems, ideally at scale.

• Practical programming experience in at least one of the following languages: Python or Kotlin.

• Familiarity with distributed systems concepts and technologies such as AWS, MySQL, and Kubernetes.

• Ability to translate straightforward business requirements into technical solutions involving multiple software components.

• Strong coding practices, including writing clear, well-tested, maintainable, and extensible code.

• Comfort navigating large codebases, debugging existing implementations, and contributing constructive feedback through code reviews.

• A proactive approach to personal and professional development, including actively seeking feedback from teammates, managers, and stakeholders.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across a globally distributed engineering team.

• A collaborative mindset, sound judgment, and a willingness to take ownership of assigned work and follow it through to completion.
