⢠Bachelorâs or Masterâs in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field.
⢠Fluency in both English and Mandarin (verbal & written) â must be able to communicate technical detail to developers in Mandarin.
⢠Strong technical acumen: APIs, SDKs, cloud architecture, data flow, agile methods.
⢠Proven ability to translate between customer needs and engineering realities.
⢠Experience working with globally distributed teams and bridging cultural and time-zone divides.
⢠Willingness to travel regularly to Alpharetta (~1 week/month).
Nice to Have:

Youâll:
