  • Strong backend development skills, ideally withTypeScript and Node.js.
  • Full-stack experience, with some familiarity with React.
  • Experience with REST APIs, asynchronous programming and databases.
  • Understanding of software testing, deployment and production-ready development.
  • A practical, hands-on approach to AI experimentation and AI-assisted coding.
Desirable Experience
