- Collaborate with cross-functional teams across multiple time zones, translating complex business requirements into clear, actionable solutions.
- 5+ years’ backend API development experience with Python/Django, Node.js/NestJS, or Golang/Gin.
- Proven experience building APIs for enterprise-grade apps with complex integrations.
