  • Expert-level proficiency in Python and Django
  • Solid experience with Docker and deploying/operating services on GCP
  • Deep understanding of system design, APIs, and service-oriented architectures

  • Demonstrates extreme ownership — you see problems as yours to solve
  • Highly effective communicator, both written and verbal
  • Anticipates issues and takes initiative before they escalate
  • Comfortable making decisions with incomplete information
  • Passionate about mentoring engineers and helping them grow technically
