- Backend Development: Experience building modern applications and APIs using frameworks such as Phoenix, Ruby on Rails, FastAPI, Laravel, or Node.js.
- Database Expertise: Strong understanding of relational databases, particularly PostgreSQL and MySQL, including schema design, normalization, denormalization, query optimization, and performance trade-offs.
- Production Systems: Demonstrated experience identifying and resolving performance issues involving CPU utilization, memory, I/O, latency, and throughput in high-volume production services.
- Authentication and Security: Experience developing authentication, identity, or other regulated systems requiring strong security, auditability, and data protection. Knowledge of OAuth 2.0, OIDC, JWT, MFA, authorization models, and secure PII handling is particularly important.
- Cloud-Native Infrastructure: Experience with Kubernetes, containerized applications, and production service operations.
- Asynchronous Processing: Familiarity with background job processing frameworks such as Oban, Exq, Sidekiq, Celery, or Beanstalkd, as well as event-driven systems such as Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, AWS SQS/SNS, or Google Cloud Pub/Sub.
- Testing and Development Tools: Experience with testing frameworks such as ExUnit, RSpec, Jest, or pytest, alongside proficiency with Git, GitHub or equivalent version control tools, and command-line environments.
- Technical Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience producing technical specifications, runbooks, and cross-team architecture documents. Ability to explain complex technical decisions clearly and collaborate effectively across teams.
- Operational Ownership: Experience managing production releases, participating in on-call rotations, troubleshooting incidents, and taking responsibility for service reliability throughout the software lifecycle.
- AI-Assisted Development: Experience using agentic software development tools, designing agentic workflows, and validating AI-generated outputs is a strong advantage.
- Preferred Qualifications: Experience with Elixir, hexagonal architecture, Domain-Driven Design, open-source contributions, or startup environments is beneficial. Additional assets include experience with financial or accounting systems requiring high accuracy and auditability, GraphQL schema design, multi-client or white-label platforms, jurisdiction-specific routing, and gaming regulatory frameworks such as AGCO and DGE. An interest in sports or esports is also welcome.
