You understand the importance of a robust data layer and have a passion for building scalable systems that can handle millions of users.

You are proficient in Java and have experience with various database technologies — whether it's optimizing queries in PostgreSQL or managing data in NoSQL systems, you know how to ensure that applications run smoothly and efficiently.
