Python, Go, etc.)

• Exceptional knowledge of core data structures and algorithms (must-have)

• Strong understanding of time and space complexity tradeoffs

• Proven ability to diagnose and resolve complex database performance issues

• Experience with SQL Server, MongoDB, Redis, and REST APIs

• Comfort using GitHub, Postman, and related dev tools

• Excellent keyboard mechanics and fluency in navigating around IDEs without heavy

reliance on shortcuts or the mouse

• Demonstrated history of shipping production-level code at a fast pace

• Clarity in explaining technical ideas, problem-solving approaches, and tradeoffs

• Open to learning C# / .NET if not already proficient

Bonus Points For

• Experience with cloud platforms like Azure or AWS

• Exposure to AI/ML tools or projects

• Contributions to open-source or engineering communities

What We Value

• Engineers who see themselves as computer scientists first
