You will need:
- Roughly 8–12 years of hands-on software engineering, with recent time at senior or staff scope where other engineers depended on what you owned

- Strong SQL and data modeling ability
- Testing discipline across unit, integration, and functional levels
- Demonstrated ownership of a subsystem or service in production, including the consequences of your own design decisions
- Code review leadership and mentoring of senior and mid-level engineers
- Ability to debug across tiers under pressure and reason from symptom to root cause

- Docker and containerized development
- AWS or Azure · CI/CD ownership
- observability and production diagnosis depth
- AI-assisted development practice · payroll, benefits, or HCM domain knowledge.
