- Experience working with databases (SQL or NoSQL), including basic schema design and writing queries.
- Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving, collaborative team environment.
- Execution-focused, proactive, and reliable.
- GCP Certification (Associate Cloud Engineer, Professional Cloud Developer) is a plus, but not mandatory.
