4–6+ years of professional software engineering experience building and running backend/distributed systems in production. Strong proficiency in Python, Go, Rust, or similar systems-capable language. Hands-on experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure. Experience building or integrating LLM/agent systems. Experience serving ML models in production. Deep understanding of APIs, async processing, message queues/streaming, and data consistency. Track record of owning systems end to end and making architecture decisions.
