• Work with relational databases such as Postgres, MySQL or MSSQL, and model data for reliability and performance.

• Develop and support public user facing applications in production, with security in mind.

• Use data structures and algorithms to solve problems and keep the codebase maintainable.

• Deliver features across both backend and frontend when needed.

• Apply a basic understanding of networking protocols such as HTTP and TCP, and communication approaches such as REST and GraphQL.

• Keep quality high by writing testable code and tests, using strict static typing and linters, and taking part in code and design reviews.

Must have skills

• Strong backend experience with Rust or another modern programming language, and willingness to learn Rust if it is new to you.
