  • Demonstrated experience designing, implementing, and consuming GraphQL APIs.
  • Experience building custom integrations between systems, including third-party and internal platforms.
  • Practical experience with containerization (Docker).
  • Strong TypeScript proficiency, including type-driven API design and shared type/codegen workflows.
  • Experience with Node.js server frameworks, Python service frameworks, and managing or leading a small engineering team.
