• Gather feedback, analyze product usage, and continuously improve implementations.

• Troubleshoot technical issues and ensure successful deployment and adoption.

• Balance short-term customer requirements with long-term product scalability.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Strong programming experience in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, or similar languages.

• Experience building REST APIs, backend services, and integrating third-party systems.

• Familiarity with AWS, Azure, or GCP.

• Experience with React, Node.js, Spring Boot, or similar frameworks.

• Experience in a startup, SaaS, or customer-facing engineering environment.

• Exposure to tools such as Jira, Linear, GitHub, and Postman.
