• Proven ability to work across the stack and collaborate with backend engineers on API contracts and system design.
• Familiarity with GraphQL, Restful APIs and backend languages like Go and Java.
• A strong product mindset - you care deeply about user experience, performance and delivering customer value.
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, team-first approach.
• Bonus: experience working on integration platforms, automation tools or low-code/no-code environments.
