  • Comfortable working under pressure and hitting tight deadlines
  • Deep understanding of software fundamentals (databases, systems, APIs)
  • Strong full-stack or backend experience
  • Heavy user of AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, etc.)
  • Knows how to use AI to move significantly faster than average engineers
  • Able to break down business problems into creative technical solutions
  • High ownership, scrappy, and execution-focused
