- You have a background in architecting and implementing robust, scalable, and maintainable web services, as well as designing REST APIs and data models.
- You are eager to own product development and work cross-functionally. You have developed the product sense and judgment to align with team goals, discern value, and contribute to planning and prioritization.
- You thrive in a team environment, valuing code reviews and knowledge sharing to mentor fellow engineers. Particularly in remote settings, you proactively communicate needs and opportunities.
- You are the go-to person for troubleshooting and resolving complex technical issues, ensuring system reliability and performance.
