- Break down and solve large ambiguous problems turning them into well-scoped shippable engineering work.
- Reduce on-call burden through better architecture automation and observability and participate in on-call rotations.
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship work alongside Principal Engineers and influence the broader technical direction of the platform.
- Contribute to frontend web clients where it accelerates the team (a plus not a requirement).
Who You Are
- 4 years of professional software engineering experience designing building deploying and operating critical backend services across a large enterprise.
- Deep hands-on expertise with our core stack: Go Kubernetes Terraform and PostgreSQL.
- Deep experience with one or more major public clouds (AWS GCP or Azure).
