- 3+ years of professional full-stack software engineering experience shipping production systems in Go (concurrency, gRPC, testing) and TypeScript/React (hooks, suspense, server components, Next.js)
- Demonstrated experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred), including schema design, migrations, query performance, and transactional correctness
- Proven track record designing APIs (protobuf/gRPC, REST, OpenAPI) and instrumenting production systems with structured observability (Datadog, OpenTelemetry, or similar)
- Experience building durable workflow systems (Temporal, Cadence, or Step Functions) or working with EVM blockchains, stablecoins, and onchain payment patterns
- Consistent record of writing clear design docs, PR descriptions, and runbooks that enable cross-team collaboration and operational maturity
- Utilizes generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.
- Demonstrates the ability to responsibly use generative AI tools and copilots (e.g., LibreChat, Gemini, Glean) in daily workflows, continuously learn as tools evolve, and apply human‑in‑the‑loop practices to deliver business‑ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in efficiency, cost, and quality.
