• Hands-on experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred)
• Comfortable working in an event-driven, modular monolith environment
• Experience with refactoring legacy systems and shaping technical direction
• (Desirable) Familiarity with DDD, CQRS, BDD, or similar techniques
• (Desirable) Background in finance, accounting, logistics, or regulated domains
• (Desirable) Strong test automation experience, especially in CI/CD and end-to-end testing contexts
