Participate in on-call rotations, incident support, testing, observability setup, and deployment practices.
Own medium-sized features independently from planning through implementation, launch, and post-launch evaluation.
Contribute to team code reviews, design documentation, onboarding support, and engineering best practices.

Requirements

Minimum of 2 years of non-internship, full-time professional software engineering experience.
Experience building and operating backend services or distributed systems in production, covering APIs, asynchronous processing, or event-driven systems.
Professional proficiency in at least one production programming language such as Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, Java, Go, or Kotlin.
Familiarity with software testing, deployment, observability, and production support standards.

Nice to Have

Experience integrating AI-backed or machine learning services into production products.
Practical background using AWS, Docker, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, Airflow, or Temporal.
