• Proven success in designing large-scale asynchronous systems using streaming, queuing, and caching strategies, supported by robust observability (logging, metrics, tracing).
• Strong proficiency with SQL/NoSQL (e.g., DynamoDB, Elasticsearch, Vespa) and cloud-native development within AWS or GCP.
• Working knowledge of Python or Java/Spring.
• Passion for AI-assisted development (e.g., Cursor, Claude)
• Exceptional communicator able to articulate complex technical concepts and influence engineering direction across multiple teams without direct authority.
• Prior experience at global technology companies or high-growth product organizations with a high-bar engineering culture.
