initiatives may run in parallel.
• Ability to make pragmatic technology choices and clearly explain trade-offs to both technical and non-technical
stakeholders.
• Ownership mindset: identify problems proactively, propose solutions and follow through until the technical outcome
is delivered.
• Strong emphasis on reliability, security, observability, performance, scalability and maintainability from design
through production.
Leadership & Collaboration
• Mentor Technical Leads and senior engineers and help establish a strong engineering culture.

• Deep knowledge of relational and NoSQL data stores: schema design, indexing, transactions, query tuning and replication.
System design and problem solving
• Proven ability to design distributed systems that are scalable, fault tolerant and cost aware, and to explain the trade-offs clearly.
• Experience with APIs, event-driven and asynchronous architectures, queues, caching and service-to-service communication.
• A structured approach to ambiguous problems: break them down, test assumptions, decide with incomplete data, and measure results.
• Strong debugging instincts, including performance profiling and production troubleshooting.
Delivery and operations
• Have led at least two significant projects from inception to production, including planning, milestones, risk management and launch.
• Hands-on experience with deployment: CI/CD pipelines, containers (Docker, Kubernetes), a major cloud (AWS, GCP or Azure), and infrastructure as code.
