You have 3+ years of experience shipping production web applications, and a background in computer science, math, physics, engineering, or another technical or scientific field. You’re strong across the stack: comfortable in Python on the back-end (FastAPI or similar), and confident with React, TypeScript, and modern front-end tooling. You know your way around relational databases and the integration work that connects services together.
You take engineering fundamentals seriously. CI/CD, testing, version control hygiene, and code quality matter to you, because they’re what let you keep moving fast without things falling over. You’re comfortable deploying on a major cloud provider (Azure preferred), and you understand how to balance performance, cost, and maintainability. You’ve debugged enough production systems to have opinions about it.
You also use AI-assisted coding tools like Claude Code, Codex, and MCP-based workflows fluently, and you treat them as a core part of how you ship.
