• Experience working with complex or legacy systems
• Strong SQL skills (query optimization, indexing, performance tuning)
• Ability to work independently across frontend and backend
• Strong communication skills in English
• Timezone overlap with Australia is required
• High level of responsiveness and proactiveness
