• Production-grade mastery of Domain-Driven Design (strategic + tactical patterns)
• Experience in legal tech, workflow automation, or regulated industries
• Familiarity with OpenTelemetry or other observability platforms
• Proven ability to independently drive high-impact initiatives to completion under ambitious timelines
