• Experience building event-driven architectures using Apache Kafka or similar event hub technologies, including producer/consumer patterns, schema design, and real-time data processing.
• Demonstrated experience designing and delivering third-party and B2B API integrations.
• Strong understanding of API security, including OAuth authentication, HMAC request signing, idempotency, replay protection, and audit logging.
• Practical experience using AI-assisted development tools and coding agents to improve engineering productivity.
• Experience with production monitoring, observability, CI/CD pipelines, and issue triage using tools such as Sentry or equivalent.

• Proven ability to deliver high-quality software within demanding timelines while balancing speed and quality.
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities across concurrent workstreams.
• Demonstrated ownership of projects from ambiguous requirements through to successful production delivery.
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset with the confidence to make informed decisions, navigate uncertainty, and independently drive outcomes.
