- Experience reading, reviewing, and modifying unfamiliar codebases and tracing behavior across services and system layers.
- Strong understanding of distributed-systems concepts, including asynchronous processing, concurrency, fault tolerance, consistency, retries, idempotency, and failure recovery.
- Experience taking substantial or ambiguous engineering projects from initial investigation and design through implementation, deployment, and production operation.
- Experience developing and debugging software using C#, Java, or another object-oriented programming language.
- Demonstrated ability to influence technical decisions across teams and help other engineers improve their code quality, debugging practices, system designs, and engineering judgment.
