• Write clean, tested, maintainable code and participate in code reviews 
• Collaborate closely with engineering lead, DevOps, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into shipped software

• Strong proficiency with React (or comparable modern frontend framework) and Python (Django, FastAPI, or similar) 
• Solid understanding of REST APIs, relational databases, and modern web application architecture

Strongly Preferred 

• Experience integrating with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar) in production

Nice to Have
