- Strong backend engineering experience, ideally with Java or a similar language
- Strong relational database experience, especially with data models that require accuracy, traceability, and long-term maintainability

- Comfort working through ambiguous product and technical problems
What you get

Worth weighing
- The role is full-stack but heavily backend-leaning, which may not appeal to those looking for more frontend work.
- No mention of specific technologies beyond Java, Postgres, and AWS, which may limit exposure to newer technologies.
- The position does not require people management but offers the opportunity, which may not suit those seeking a strictly managerial role.
