Database & Cloud Fluency: Solid experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred), modern DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, test automation, IaC, and SQL/NoSQL databases (Postgres, DynamoDB, Opensearch, DSQL).
-
Leadership Capabilities: A proven track record of mentoring and developing other engineers, with the ability to make pragmatic technical decisions balancing quality and delivery.
-
Communication Fluency: Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
