• Experience improving scalability, reliability, observability, or maintainability in production systems.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Comfort collaborating across Engineering, Product, and Analytics while remaining hands-on.

• Experience building SaaS products for mid-market or enterprise customers.
• Experience with rule-driven systems, validation workflows, or approval/governance platforms.
