Must-have skills we detected
From the posting
“Own the evolution of our backend platform: lead distributed Node.js services at scale, set Kubernetes deployment standards across teams, and build observability into everything we ship. 5+ years backend, a track record of reliability and performance wins, plus mentoring and technical direction.”
Nice to have: Datadog / Prometheus, and owning a platform other teams build on.
An honest fit score before we write a word. We won’t dress up a weak match.
