Requirements

Strong Java experience. Building production backend systems is your home turf: APIs, async processing, concurrency, performance tuning. You've debugged enough memory leaks and thread pools to know what you're doing, and you know there's more to java than just off-the-shelf frameworks
Solid Python skills - comfortable enough to contribute meaningfully
Solid SQL skills in the context of backend development - you've worked with ORMs, persistence layers, locking, and schema migrations in production
Cloud: Hands-on with AWS (or GCP/Azure) - you've deployed and operated services in production
You understand DevOps concepts (containerization, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code) and can deploy your own code. You have solid working knowledge of Linux for doing backend and DevOps work.
Fundamentals: Testing strategies, observability (metrics, logging, tracing), performance profiling
Independence: You don't need hand-holding in a distributed, async team
English: Fluent.
