- Solid experience with Python backends and Postgres databases
- Proven ability to ship high-quality features from design to production in a startup environment
- Excellent communication skills—able to partner with product and non-technical stakeholders, surface key insights, and bring others along in decision-making
- Experience in technical leadership: setting direction, mentoring, and guiding teams through ambiguity
- Startup mentality: you are resilient, pragmatic, and ambitious, and you know how to push for impact while maintaining strong working relationships
