  • Comprehensive knowledge of testing, profiling, and debugging practices.
  • Experience architecting and developing multi-region global solutions, considering localization, regulatory compliance (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, PCI, and SOC), privacy, etc.
  • Proven ability to take end-to-end code ownership, from requirement analysis to deployment, including documentation.
  • Exceptional communication skills, ability to work collaboratively, and provide technical support to external developers.
