• Participate in improving CI/CD pipelines, observability, and dev tooling
  
  

Requirements

• 2–5 years of professional software engineering experience
• Strong proficiency in Python and backend development fundamentals
• Experience working with RESTful APIs, databases (SQL/NoSQL), and cloud platforms (GCP preferred)
• Understanding of distributed systems, scalability, and fault tolerance
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative, problem-solving mindset
• These are the applicable requisites, although equivalent competencies in any of the above will also be considered
