What they actually want (must-haves)
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience building and operating high-availability, correctness-critical backend and data systems
  • Proven ability to lead complex, cross-team technical initiatives from definition through delivery with minimal oversight
  • Deep comfort with relational databases and SQL — designing schemas, writing complex queries, reasoning about query performance, and managing safe schema evolution in production
  • Experience designing and versioning APIs and owning the contracts that downstream teams, customers, and SDKs depend on using Java, Kotlin, Go, or similar
  • Proficiency with AI-assisted development tooling (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) with a commitment to an AI-first engineering culture that maximizes team quality and velocity
Nice to have
  • Hands-on experience with Salesforce, NetSuite, and Snowflake — particularly integrating them into an automated quote-to-cash or usage-to-invoice pipeline
  • Experience building customer-facing data delivery: reporting APIs, bulk export pipelines, or streaming event feeds and building the developer experience around them
  • Proven ability to own and evolve platform APIs consumed by multiple internal teams and external customers, across the full lifecycle from design through versioning and deprecation
  • Experience replacing a manual, spreadsheet-driven business process with an automated system
  • Experience with identity standards such as NIST 800-63-3, OAuth2, or OpenID Connect
