- You bring strong knowledge of computer science fundamentals, software design, and distributed systems.
- You are experienced in modern programming languages (e.g., Go, Python, TypeScript) and familiar with container technologies like Docker and Kubernetes.

- You have strong analytical skills, business acumen, and are an open-minded and creative team player that challenges directly while caring deeply. A background in supporting large-scale production systems or enabling teams through platform abstraction is a plus.
This is what we offer:
- Competitive compensation package.
- A combination of personal and company growth to accelerate your career and help you reach your goals.
- A career development path with access to mentorship, training, and learning resources tailored to your growth.
