Strong full-stack or backend engineering experience (Java, C++, Python, Scala, Go, or similar) in high-performance, distributed, real-time systems. Experience designing and delivering large-scale, production systems handling massive data volumes and low-latency requirements. Demonstrated success collaborating with sales/client-facing teams: creating technical proposals, conducting demos/POCs, and translating complex technology into business value.
