Strong in Node.js and comfortable building with frameworks and languages such as Express, TypeScript, Python, FastAPI, and other modern backend technologies
Experience working with React and derivative frameworks, including React Native
Built and scaled RESTful APIs (GraphQL a bonus) and know how to keep them clean, secure, and fast
Worked across databases (Postgres, Redis, or NoSQL) and can design for scale, reliability, and performance
Comfortable in cloud-native environments (GCP preferred; AWS/Azure fine too) and can navigate Kubernetes, Docker, and Terraform without blinking
Build with a security-first mindset — you know your way around OAuth2/OIDC, role- and policy-based auth, and compliance frameworks (SOC2, FERPA)
Touched CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and observability tools (Datadog, OpenTelemetry, Sentry) — and you know they're not 'nice to have,' they're table stakes

Preferred
