• S3
• PostgreSQL
• SQL and basic query writing
• MongoDB or comparable NoSQL exposure

Ideal Candidate

A senior back-end engineer who is currently hands-on with Java 17+, Spring Boot, Kubernetes, AWS, EKS, microservices, SQL/NoSQL, and automated testing. The candidate must be comfortable working onsite full-time and completing a rigorous technical assessment without AI assistance.
