About the role

You scope work into well-defined milestones, estimate delivery timelines, and follow through.
You resolve a wide range of technical issues in creative ways, and the code you write is clear enough that other engineers can reason about it and extend it with confidence.
We have noticed that people that have been in such environments before tend to adapt better.

If you have not been in an environment like this before you would do well to try and convince us that you can handle it during your interviews.
6+ years of professional software engineering experience with a demonstrated track record of delivering complex systems.
Strong proficiency in at least one core programming language - you are effective in the languages your team uses and can pick up new ones as needed.
Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure in particular) including networking constructs such as VPCs, subnets, security groups, and private endpoints.
Strong understanding of system reliability, monitoring, and performance optimization.
Experience on multiple teams or in multiple roles - you bring breadth that informs your technical judgment.
Must have been deeply involved with complex, production-grade APIs and services.
Strong understanding of cloud execution environments and how architectural decisions affect them.
Must have strong understanding of databases, caches, queues, events, and workers.
Strong understanding of network security principles and hardening practices.

Scope and stage work into well-defined milestones to avoid monolithic deliverables, enabling frequent and predictable delivery.
Create model documentation that others extend and reference.
Complex Problem Solving Resolve a wide range of technical issues in creative ways, spanning software, infrastructure, and network layers.
Participate in incident response and root cause analysis.
Continuously improve system quality, automation, and operational maturity.
