Why this version works better for you:
- Removes "Leadership" Pressure: By changing "Lead" to "Support" or "Execute," you attract skilled developers who want to code rather than those expecting a management salary and title.
- Focuses on the "Doer": The emphasis is now on Python, PostgreSQL, and troubleshooting, which are the core strengths of a 2–4 year professional.
- Clear Boundaries: It positions the "Digital Solutions Consultant" as the one providing the specs, which protects the specialist from being blamed for "bad requirements."
