Strong command of Python or Node.js for backend bot logic.
Solid experience with REST APIs, webhooks, OAuth, and async request handling.
Experience with relational or NoSQL databases for storing conversation state and user data.
Understanding of platform-specific limits, message templates, and approval flows (e.g., WhatsApp template messages).
