- Quality-focused: You have experience with TDD and are open to pair programming when a problem calls for it.
- AI-assisted development: You're comfortable using AI coding tools and LLMs to speed up your workflow, whether that's scaffolding code, writing tests, or debugging tricky issues.
- AWS experience: Hands-on with DynamoDB, SNS, SQS, and S3.
- Bonus points: Experience in an international business or with high volume transactional systems (POS, e-commerce). Kafka experience is a strong plus.
