• 4-6 years of experience in backend engineering, platform engineering, distributed systems, or comparable software engineering roles
• Strong hands-on programming skills in Python, TypeScript, or both, with a solid understanding of modern software engineering best practices
• Experience designing and operating scalable APIs, asynchronous systems, queues, databases, and distributed services in production environments
• Familiarity with enterprise integrations, including OAuth, webhooks, REST APIs, SDKs, and data ingestion or normalization pipelines
