• Strong background in data and relational database design, with the ability to write and optimize raw SQL queries
• Proven track record of designing and maintaining comprehensive test suites across the stack
• Commitment to building reliable, well-tested, and maintainable features

• Interpret complex and sometimes ambiguous requirements — often referencing legacy systems — and translate them into clear, actionable implementation plans
• Develop features across the full stack, delivering clean, maintainable code and refactoring existing code to support long-term scalability
• Write automated tests (unit and feature), perform manual QA, and use legacy applications to inform meaningful test coverage
• Own features post-launch by monitoring performance, resolving bugs, and continuously improving functionality and reliability
