Your experience: - Strong understanding of and hands-on experience with distributed systems and cloud services. - 5+ years of experience developing and debugging system-level software in languages similar to Golang or TypeScript. - Track record of leading non-trivial projects from design through production rollout, navigating ambiguity along the way. - Strong communication skills with a passion for mentoring peers, fostering a collaborative team culture, and executing efficiently in a fast-paced environment. - Passion for building high-quality products that are robust and easy to maintain in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience. ## Preferred Qualifications - Experience building cloud-native SaaS platforms. - Experience working with frontend web frameworks like React. - Prior experience mentoring engineers or leading technical projects.
