A bachelor's or master's degree in computer science or a related engineering field, or an adjacent degree from a strong school.
Skilled at building server-side applications in Node.js or an equivalent web framework.
A history of delivering high-volume server-side software where data privacy and accuracy are critical, with relational database experience.
