- Establish and promote engineering best practices in reliability, observability, performance, and security
What We’re Looking For
- Extensive experience developing backend frameworks, libraries, or distributed systems with a strong emphasis on reliability and performance
- Demonstrated success delivering production-quality software, including APIs, infrastructure, and data-intensive systems
- Excellent system design abilities and a proven track record of owning and delivering complex engineering projects
- Comfort navigating fast-paced, startup environments with evolving needs
- Deep proficiency in Python, or significant experience with languages such as Go, Java, or C++
