* Strong proficiency in at least one backend language such as Python, Go, or Node.js/TypeScript

* Comfortable working in a high\-growth, early\-stage engineering environment with evolving priorities
* Must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship
**Preferred Qualifications:**
* Experience with data visualization libraries such as D3, Cytoscape, Sigma.js, vis.js, or Recharts, particularly for graph/network visualizations
* Experience with social listening, social media data, or large\-scale web data platforms
* Familiarity with Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, Redis, or Airflow
* Prior experience at a seed\-to\-Series B startup
