- Monitor application performance, troubleshoot bugs, and assist in root cause analysis for production issues.

- BS/MS degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).

- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience across the full stack.

- Solid proficiency in modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React, Vue, TypeScript) and backend languages (e.g., Python, Node.js, Rust, Go).

- Experience handling real-time data on the frontend (e.g., WebSockets, SSE) and managing application state.

- Good understanding of API design (REST/GraphQL), relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL), and caching layers (e.g., Redis).

- Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and modern development workflows (Git).

- Able to leverage AI coding assistants to increase velocity while fully understanding and taking ownership of all code you commit.

- Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset to thrive in a fast-paced team environment.

- Experience with web-based mapping and visualization libraries (e.g., Mapbox, MapLibre).

- Experience with real-time audio consumption workflows, including Opus decoding, browser audio rendering APIs, and managing multi-channel live audio streams via LiveKit/WebRTC.

- Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP) and basic Kubernetes concepts.
