- Hands-on experience designing, building, and scaling distributed systems that handle real-world traffic at scale
- Proficient with AI-assisted development tools (Claude, Codex, Copilot, etc.) and a believer in using them to multiply team output
- A T-shaped engineer / generalist mindset with deep expertise in at least one domain (e.g., API design, data pipelines, event-driven architectures, infrastructure)
- A proactive ownership mentality, you don't wait for permission to improve things; you identify problems, propose solutions, and execute
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity, handling conflict constructively, and building consensus across teams with competing priorities
- Familiarity with the technologies, tradeoffs, and design patterns emerging in modern web services and cloud-native architectures
