• Strong problem-solving, communication, and ownership skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Python, Go, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar.
• Data modeling with relational, JSON, vector, or columnar data (e.g., Parquet).
• AWS, CI/CD with GitHub, infrastructure as code (e.g., CloudFormation or Terraform), observability, or DevSecOps practices.
• Web applications, event-driven systems, semantic search, RAG, or MCP.
