• Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong front-end engineering with a modern component framework (Angular a plus), plus solid TypeScript/JavaScript and UI fundamentals (HTML, CSS, accessibility).
• Strong back-end engineering in a modern server-side language (we use PHP and Go).
• Relational-database proficiency -- data modeling, performant queries, and indexing.
• Experience designing and operating production APIs (REST or gRPC).
• Comfort with Git, pull-request workflows, and CI/CD.

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience with our stack (Angular, PHP/Symfony, Go, MySQL) a plus.
• Experience leading a service migration between languages/runtimes (e.g., PHP to Go) in production.
• Familiarity with Tera for server-side templating.
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes (GKE) at the application-developer level.
• Cloud-platform experience -- GCP preferred, AWS or Azure acceptable.
• Experience operating against an observability stack (New Relic, Datadog, or similar).
