  • Strong backend development skills in Go, Python, Java, or a similar language.
  • Experience designing distributed systems, APIs, and cloud-native applications.
  • Strong understanding of asynchronous processing and event-driven architectures.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative startup environment.

Nice to Have

  • Kubernetes and AWS
  • PostgreSQL, Kafka, or Redis
  • AI/LLM applications or agentic systems
  • Enterprise automation or integration platforms
