• Hands‑on experience deploying and operating services on AWS (serverless and traditional compute).
• Strong SQL and NoSQL data modeling and query experience.
• Demonstrated CI/CD experience (AWS CodePipeline, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar).
• Proven track record of shipping high‑quality, well‑tested code into production.
• Comfortable working from minimal specs and iterating quickly in a fast‑paced environment.

• Familiarity with security best practices (authentication/authorization, secret management, OWASP).
• Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, ECS, EKS).
• Familiarity with infrastructure as code (CloudFormation, Terraform, CDK).
• Prior experience leveraging AI-assisted coding tools responsibly in production workflows.
