  • Strong software engineering fundamentals with proficiency in Python and familiarity with React, TypeScript, and Node.js.
  • Demonstrated experience working with APIs, webhooks, and data pipelines to connect disparate systems.
  • Excellent communication skills, capable of translating complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.
  • A proactive approach to problem-solving with a bias for action in fast-moving environments.

Preferred

  • Background in Computer Science, Math, or a similar technical discipline.
  • Experience in enterprise SaaS, logistics tech, or AI infrastructure.
  • Exposure to startup or high-autonomy environments.
