Qualifications

• 5+ years of development and project management experience.

• Python — production experience building and maintaining backend services.
• TypeScript — production experience on the frontend and/or in Node services.
• SQL — fluent in writing, reading, and optimizing queries; comfortable reasoning about schema design and query performance.

• Lead a team of engineers and coordinate work, standups, planning, and retrospectives to keep the team unblocked.

• Communicate status to leadership weekly, flag risks, and propose options to resolve blockers.
• Produce architecture assessment, target‑state design documents, and architecture decision records.
