• 3+ years of full-stack experience in C# or Python (or both), with solid knowledge of ORM and API frameworks
• 3+ years of full-stack TypeScript/React development experience
• Hands-on experience with relevant backend frameworks and libraries (e.g. ASP.NET, Entity Framework, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, Pydantic)
• Experience building, maintaining, and optimising relational SQL databases (PostgreSQL / Oracle)
• Experience with rapid dashboard development tools (Streamlit, Plotly Dash, React) and presenting complex data visually to varied audiences
• Strong understanding of code review practices, version control, and issue tracking

Nice to have:
