• Strong database modeling and query experience with SQL Databases.

Experience designing and implementing RESTful APIs and gRPC services.

• Hands-on experience with asynchronous programming models (e.g., asyncio, Goroutines) and production programming languages (e.g., Python, Go).

• Strong system design judgment with a track record of driving cross-team technical alignment and mentoring engineers.

• Experience in the Cybersecurity domain, specifically Identity & Access Management (IAM), Secret Management, or Non-Human Identity Security- advantage.
