• Demonstrated technical judgment in the design and operation of full-stack applications, backend services, APIs, or distributed systems
• Systems thinking and the ability to turn recurring or ambiguous needs into coherent, reusable solutions
• Track record of owning production software from initial design through operation and continuous improvement
