• Experience designing and building RESTful or GraphQL APIs
• Solid understanding of databases (SQL and/or NoSQL) and data modeling
• Proven ability to deliver quality work under tight deadlines in a fast-paced setting
• Prior experience mentoring or leading developers
• Familiarity with version control, testing, and CI/CD practices
