Who you are

You have 4+ years of experience in software development, particularly in distributed systems and infrastructure engineering — you've tackled complex challenges and delivered scalable solutions. Your expertise in object-oriented programming is strong, with bonus points for experience in Python or Go, which you have used to build robust applications.

You are familiar with distributed systems, having worked with technologies like Kubernetes and gRPC — you understand the intricacies of deploying and managing applications in a cloud environment. Your experience includes defining API schemas and developing backend services in a microservices architecture, ensuring that your solutions are both efficient and maintainable.

You have a solid understanding of databases and their optimization — you know how to design schemas that support high-performance applications and can troubleshoot issues that arise in production environments. Your commitment to writing clean, well-tested, and maintainable code aligns with engineering best practices, and you actively participate in design and code reviews to uphold system quality.

You thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with Product Managers, Designers, and other Engineers to define and deliver new product features and technical initiatives — your communication skills enable you to articulate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders effectively. You are proactive in identifying areas for improvement in development processes and engineering infrastructure, always seeking to enhance the team's productivity and output.
