• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong focus on backend systems, platform services, or infrastructure
• Solid experience designing and scaling distributed systems with strong focus on performance, scalability, and reliability
• Hands‑on experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and production‑grade deployments
