About the Role
You will build secure, resilient infrastructure from the ground up. You will review code across the entire stack and actively participate in product development. You will foster an efficient, deterministic testing culture with emphasis on minimizing tech debt. You will find simple solutions to complex software design problems. You will implement high quality code that is functional, performant, clear, concise and well tested. You will provide production support, participate in on-call rotation, troubleshoot incidents, mitigate issues, and learn from production incidents to reduce their incidence. You will drive down technical complexity and refactor existing systems safely, leaving the codebase better than you found it.
