• Experience working with event-driven, asynchronous architectures.
• Proficiency in working with relational and distributed databases, preferably CockroachDB, PostgreSQL, or similar.
• Hands-on experience building highly scalable, fault-tolerant backend services.
• A strong understanding of testing best practices, debugging, and profiling.
