• At least 5 years of professional software development experience, including production Rust work.
• Professional backend experience in at least one additional language, such as Python, Go, Java, C#, C++, or TypeScript/Node.js.
• Strong SQL and relational database skills, plus experience building and using REST APIs.
• Experience working in an engineering team and maintaining a shared production codebase used by customers.
• Background in code review, incident diagnosis, production migrations, and backward-compatible changes.
• Clear spoken and written English, with the ability to manage deadlines and competing priorities.

Nice to have

• PostgreSQL or Microsoft SQL Server experience.
• Work with security and access controls, especially in a regulated environment.
