• Performance Optimization: Skills in optimizing build and test pipelines to improve efficiency. Ability to diagnose and resolve performance bottlenecks in applications and infrastructure.
• Monitoring and Observability: Experience with monitoring tools (e.g., Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus). Understanding of logging and observability tools (e.g., ELK Stack, Splunk).

You might be a fit if you have:

• Genuine collaboration. We recognize and explicitly reward feedback, alignment, and learning from each other.
• Managers as advocates. You’ll report to leaders invested in your growth and promotion, not just their own. Managers only succeed when their teams thrive.
• Outcomes over output. We value finding ways to do more with less, working smart instead of burning out.
• Product ownership. Engineers are owners, not mercenaries. Everyone plays a role in discovering, advocating for, and implementing ideas.
• Technical quality. We work collaboratively to ensure great outcomes without sacrificing quality. Sustainable development is a first class priority.
