You are comfortable working with modern languages such as Python, Go, or Node.js and have a strong grasp of API design and distributed systems. Your background includes working with both relational and NoSQL databases, as well as cloud platforms. We value your ability to debug complex issues and your talent for solving performance bottlenecks. Proficiency in English is required, and a genuine interest in sports or fantasy gaming is a major plus.
