Ideally you bring

10+ years of experience in software development, ideally building user-facing applications.

Experience working with modern web or mobile stacks (e.g., React, React Native, Django, Python).

Experience leading complex, cross-team projects with significant technical depth.

Excellent problem-solving and system design skills.
