  • Proficiency in software systems built on Amazon Web Services.
  • Fluency in dynamic programming languages such as JavaScript, Python, Ruby, or similar.
  • Proven history of successfully launching and delivering complex projects amid high levels of ambiguity.
  • Ability to evaluate the trade-offs of various technical solutions, prioritizing practicality over idealism.
  • Capacity to excel in a fast-paced, collaborative, and rapidly evolving environment.
  • Full professional proficiency in English.
