• Work with databases (SQL/NoSQL), modeling data and ensuring performance and reliability

• Participate in technical planning, code reviews, audits, and security assessments

• Collaborate closely with founders, engineers, auditors, and product stakeholders

• Maintain accurate and clear English-based technical documentation and communication

• Strong testing mindset (Hardhat, Foundry, Jest or similar)

• Excellent debugging skills and passion for deep problem investigation

• Fluent or near-native English communication skills, written and spoken

• Ability to work independently with strong accountability and ownership

Nice to Have
