  MQ) using existing patterns and reusable components.
• Improve code quality and maintainability by delivering features with tests, refactors, and documentation.

Collaboration & Growth

• Partner with product and business stakeholders to clarify requirements in a complex domain.
• Participate in code reviews (both receiving and giving) and incorporate feedback quickly.
• Learn the team’s operational practices: monitoring, alerts, on‑call support, and incident follow‑ups.

• Experience building production services in Type Script/Node.js (or strong Java/C#/Go experience with willingness to ramp).
• Familiarity with React and modern frontend development fundamentals.
• Comfort working with APIs (REST preferred; Graph
  
  QL a plus) and collaborating on contracts.
• Familiarity with SQL databases (schema basics, writing queries, migrations with guidance).
• Exposure to async systems (queues/events) such as Kafka/Rabbit
  
  MQ/SQS is a plus, or willingness to learn.
• Solid engineering fundamentals: debugging, testing, code quality, and clear written communication.
• Willingness to participate in on‑call rotation and incident follow‑ups (with support and training).

• Experience with microservices in production.
• Hands‑on exposure to Kafka/Rabbit
  
  MQ patterns (retries, DLQs, idempotency).
