- Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, internal engineering teams, and stakeholders to drive high-impact projects.
- Work within real-world constraints to develop creative solutions that maintain platform flexibility and scalability.
- Contribute to best practices for CI/CD, data modeling, and iterative development (e.g.,PoCs, rapid prototyping, milestone-based execution).
- Mentor and support other engineers, fostering a strong technical culture of respect, open communication, and collaboration.

Required Skills and Experience: What you need

- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience.
- Strong full-stack development experience, including frontend, backend, and relational database modeling and development.
- Proficiency in React and Java (preferably Java 11+).
