Deep understanding of Magento 2 architecture (Cloud/On-prem), PHP 7/8, MySQL, and caching strategies (Varnish/Redis/Elasticsearch)
Complex Logic Experience: Our configurator relies on deep dependencies. You should have experience with Rules Engines, ERP integrations or CPQ (configure, price, quote) tools

Experience: 7+ years in Web Development/E-commerce, with 3+ years in a technical leadership role
The 'Complex Product' Factor: Proven experience managing sites with massive catalogs or configurable products (50+ options) is critical
