- Collaborate with the customer's team on technical reviews, implementation decisions, and problem-solving exercises.
- Adapt quickly to new codebases, frameworks, and technical requirements.
- 3+ years of hands-on software engineering experience.
- Strong experience in at least one backend or full-stack engineering environment, such as Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, Java, C++, Go or Rust
- Experience building, maintaining, or reviewing production-level applications, APIs, services, databases, or integrations.
- Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals, including debugging, testing, code quality, architecture, and technical tradeoffs.
- Ability to explain complex engineering decisions clearly and objectively.
- Comfortable reading and reasoning through unfamiliar code or technical requirements
- Experience with cloud environments such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines, DevOps workflows, containers, monitoring, or production operations.
- Experience with frontend frameworks such as React, Next.js, Angular, Vue, or React Native.
- Open-source contributions, public GitHub work, technical writing, or strong examples of past engineering work.
- Experience mentoring engineers, reviewing code, or making architecture decisions.
