• Previous experience leading a small development team or acting as a technical mentor.
• Solid understanding of micro‑services architecture, RESTful API design, and cloud platforms (AWS); experience with Kubernetes and Terraform is a plus.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with engineers, product managers, and architects.
• Commitment to quality, including writing clean, maintainable code and promoting best practices in testing and code review.
