Hands-on experience building production backend services or full-stack features (or equivalent). Proven record of shipping end-to-end: design → implementation → testing → monitoring → oncall. Strong mastery of at least one backend language (Python, Go, Java, or Node) and comfort with web APIs, async processing, and service frameworks. Solid system design skills: experience architecting scalable, fault-tolerant systems (sharding, caching, queueing, idempotency, backpressure). Experience building and operating large data pipelines (batch or streaming), working with warehouses or OLAP systems for analytics, and designing efficient schemas for scale. Deep practical experience with backend concerns: databases (SQL + NoSQL), caching, message queues, rate limiting, retries, and cost/latency tradeoffs.
