Fluency in at least one backend language (e.g., Python, Go, Node.js, Java) in addition to English ;-)
Familiarity with frontend frameworks (e.g., React, Vue) and a good sense of UI/UX tradeoffs

Proficiency in integrating third-party APIs, databases, and external systems in a secure and reliable way
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to thrive in ambiguous, customer-facing environments
Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
