- Proven track record in technical leadership, architecture, and strategy.
- Proven track record for mentorship, clear communication, and long-term thinking.
- Ability to see both the big picture and the fine detail, knowing when to zoom out to strategy and when to dive deep into technical issues.
- Pragmatism: you make deliberate decisions, balancing speed and sustainability.

- Deep understanding of database systems (Postgres, Aurora, ..)
- Open to engaging with full stack topics—you’re not limited to the front or back end and can contribute meaningfully to full-stack conversations, API design, and data pipeline decisions.
### Nice to have
