  • Experience with REST and/or GraphQL APIs
  • Experience managing large datasets, PostgreSQL (or equivalent relational DB), migrations, and ETL pipelines
  • Familiarity with unit and integration testing and CI/CD practices
  • Strong focus on maintainability, planning, and technical specification writing

Preferred

  • Experience with LangChain, tool-calling, or agent frameworks
  • Experience with RAG systems and vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector)
  • Experience with event sourcing, microservices, real-time systems, or stream processing
  • Strong product and design instincts for turning complexity into intuitive UI
