- 2+ years building production UIs with React and TypeScript, using modern patterns (hooks, component composition) and strong UX sensibilities.
- 2+ years building backend services with Ruby on Rails, including Active Record, background jobs, and performance-minded SQL queries.
- Solid experience designing and consuming APIs (REST or GraphQL), plus working knowledge of relational SQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL).
- A quality mindset: automated testing clean code, code reviews, and CI/CD basics.
- Practical experience using feature flags, telemetry, and safe rollout techniques to ship incrementally and de‑risk changes.
- Track record collaborating with Product and Design to turn ambiguous problems into iterative deliveries and measurable outcomes.
