• Champion reliability, observability, automation, and operational excellence.
• Partner closely with Product, Data, Infrastructure, and other engineering teams.
• Stay hands-on: write high-quality, maintainable, well-tested code.

• 7+ years of backend software engineering experience.
• Deep system design and distributed systems expertise — you've designed and owned systems at scale.
