Application Question(s):
- Note to candidates: We've seen a clear trend: many applicants list our core skills (Java, AWS, Spring Boot, Terraform, etc.) as buzzwords they're loosely aware of — not technologies they've used hands-on, day to day. If you don't have real, recent, day-to-day experience with this stack, please don't apply. We respect your time; please respect ours.
