- Exceptional communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Expert knowledge of software design best practices, data structures, and algorithms
- In-depth knowledge of cloud technology and the ability to choose the right tool for the job is essential, such as serverless functions vs. containerized services; relational vs. NoSQL databases; appropriate use of caches and queues; etc.
- Demonstrated ability and desire to learn new technologies
- Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent work experience
It would be great if you also had:
- Proficiency with the React stack stack, including Node.js, TypeScript, Redux, GraphQL, and related testing frameworks is highly desirable.
