  • Articulate and execute a long-term vision for maintaining and scaling backend systems and the teams that run them.
  • Write high-quality, well-tested code.

Requirements

  • At least 5 years of experience in software engineering.
  • Experience designing, building, scaling, and maintaining production services; familiarity with composing a service-oriented architecture.
