Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in production Python backend development
• Experience with API and service design, including REST or gRPC, contract definition, and proto evolution
• Skills in SQL and relational data management, including Google Cloud Spanner or equivalent transferable technologies, schema reasoning, and migrations

• Flexibility to overlap working hours with US time zones
