• Solid understanding of distributed systems, message-driven architectures, and data consistency models.
• Familiarity with AWS services (e.g., Lambda, S3, RDS, ECS/EKS) and modern CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience designing and maintaining RESTful or GraphQL APIs.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a passion for delivering clean, well-tested software.
• Self-starter with the ability to drive technical initiatives with minimal direction.

  Nice to Have

• Experience with RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL, and Kubernetes (EKS).
• Familiarity with infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation).
• Knowledge of frontend performance tuning and LiveView optimization.
• Interest in sports, collectibles, or fan engagement platforms.
