• Proven experience as a Tech Lead or Senior Engineer responsible for system design and delivery of complex projects.
• Strong software engineering background and hands-on experience in C#, Java or any other strongly typed backend stack.
• Familiarity with frontend tech, preferably React.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills across engineering, product, and business.
• Product-driven and with previous experience in a fast-growing product company.
• Strong problem-solving skills.
