Proficiency in various technical areas, including infrastructure updates, security enforcement, database optimization, and debugging, is necessary.
Candidates must be comfortable making independent decisions regarding project direction and be proactive in managing their own projects without micromanagement.
Familiarity with SQL and coding is mandatory, as the role involves significant software engineering responsibilities.

The position offers a competitive salary and equity, with a 10-year exercise window for stock options.
