  • Demonstrated ability to contribute directly to technical design, system architecture, prototypes, code, integrations, or production-oriented solutions.
  • Strong understanding of modern software architecture, system design, engineering practices, product delivery, implementation, and production operations.
  • Experience leading or guiding a small, highly technical team while remaining actively involved in technical work.
