- Hands-on experience with **modern frontend frameworks** (React, Vue, or similar)
- Exposure to **cloud and DevOps tooling** such as Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, or CI/CD pipelines
- Experience working in **cross-functional product teams** involving AI, backend, and frontend engineers

**Requirements**:

- **4+ years of backend development experience**, with a strong focus on **TypeScript and Node.js**:

- Proven experience designing and maintaining **RESTful APIs** and third-party integrations
- Solid understanding of **relational databases** (PostgreSQL or MySQL), including query optimization
