• Strong proficiency in Python and backend development.
• Production experience with Flask or FastAPI.
• Experience with MySQL and/or PostgreSQL.
• Daily experience with AI development tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, or similar.
• Ability to use AI thoughtfully throughout the software development lifecycle.
