Desired Technical Competencies
General Purpose Python Programming: • You have a deep understanding of python's standard library and python internals. You understand python memory management, how CPython implements built-in data structures, and which data structures are best suited for different scenarios • You understand and can compare/contrast CPython's built-in concurrency models, when to use each, and what obstacles might prevent the use of each mechanism Database Design, SQL, and Object Relational Models • You are adept at performance-tuning SQL queries for both OLAP and OLTP databases • You understand and are prepared to discuss how and when/where to utilize more esoteric and/or modern SQL features such as window functions and common table expressions. • You understand and are prepared to discuss the performance implications of columnar vs relational databases. • You have hands-on experience in managing database schema migrations (ideally using SQLAlchemy's ORM + Alembic). Version Control and CI/CD • You have experience with trunk-based development (feature branching) using git for version control, with fully automated deployments (CI/CD).

Cloud Infrastructure and Amazon Web Services • You have hands-on experience using boto3 to interact with Amazon Web Services' resource APIs, particularly Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service). • You have hands-on experience authoring unit and integration tests utilizing localstack to emulate AWS resources. • You have hands-on experience using HashiCorp Terraform to manage cloud infrastructure. • You have hands-on experience developing serverless ASGI applications using AWS lambda and AWS API Gateway
