Working knowledge of Go or TypeScript, or a track record of picking up new languages quickly.

Comfort with Linux fundamentals: the shell, SSH, services, containers, and basic networking.

An interest in working across multiple layers of a system, from backend services to user-facing tooling.

Familiarity and growing proficiency with AI coding tools.

Basic knowledge of PostgreSQL, distributed systems, or deployment automation is a strong plus.

Experience working in collaborative environments with other technical contributors.

You prefer only highly scoped work with fixed requirements and no ambiguity.

You prefer maintaining mature systems over building and evolving new foundations.

You avoid making any progress or decisions without having perfect information.

You want a role where technical execution is completely isolated from strategy.
