You understand the challenges of eventual consistency and distributed data. - The "Big Picture" Thinker: You understand the business context of your work. You can balance the need for "perfect code" with the pragmatic need to deliver value and iterate based on data. - Software Craftsmanship: You are an advocate for Clean Code, SOLID principles, and TDD. You take pride in producing code that is easy for your peers to read and maintain. - Curiosity for Go: While our core stack for this role is Node.js, we have services in Go (Golang).
