  • Experience in highly concurrent or highly available systems is a plus, as is experience with AWS or other cloud services.
  • Hands-on experience with relational or non-relational databases, or ORMs would be helpful (eg. MSSQL, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, MySql, Dapper, Entity Framework, Entity Framework Core)
  • Familiar with Lean, Agile, or similar practices.
