• Solid understanding of design patterns, data structures, algorithms, and general systems fundamentals.
• Demonstrated experience architecting or contributing to systems that solve complex business challenges — especially around scalability, distributed systems, and large data volumes.
• A willingness to just go figure stuff out :)
