  • Write code primarily in Go.
  • Help the team define and maintain development best practices.
  • Drive the creation of new features and service offerings, as well as the enhancement of existing services.

What we’ll expect you to know on day one:

  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment processes.
  • Familiarity with containerization technologies like Docker.
  • You're a proactive communicator; you communicate concerns and blockers early and often.
  • You’re able to drive major projects across multiple products or systems from design to implementation.
  • You can identify and troubleshoot ambiguous, open-ended problems effectively.

Great to have, but not required:
