- Instrument and improve performance, reliability, and observability; write clear tests and documentation

- Ability to make informed trade-offs with business context; high agency and a team-first mindset
- Curiosity about DeFi/crypto (prior domain experience not required)
Preferred
- Experience in one or more areas: full-stack web (React/Javascript), backend APIs/services, infrastructure/DevOps (Docker, CI/CD, cloud), or on-chain/low-level systems
