Solid understanding of databases (both relational and NoSQL) and experience optimizing for performance, high scalability, and reliability
Experience leveraging AI tools and LLMs to accelerate backend development, code review, or documentation workflows
Strong communication and collaboration skills, comfortable working cross-functionally in small, fast-moving teams
Self-motivated and comfortable with ownership in an ambiguous, early-stage environment

Nice to Have

Experience building backend systems for mobile free-to-play games, including live ops infrastructure, event systems, or economy services
Experience with real-time multiplayer or social features such as guilds, leaderboards, or co-op systems
Familiarity with Unity and experience integrating server-side systems with a Unity client
