You will be closely collaborating with key internal stakeholders to determine how to scalably design backend systems and APIs to meet their needs.

• Leading features/initiatives from idea to the point where they bring positive, validated impact to the end users
• Working closely with Product to slice and dice scope and deliver piece by piece
• Sharing your knowledge by giving tech talks, and promoting appropriate tech and engineering best practices in and outside of the team
  
  
  

About you:

• You have experience of thriving in an environment that has a fast customer-feedback cycle and having empathy for the end-user
• You are great at making data-driven decisions that positively impact the business. Experience in product companies with a bias for properly experimenting their product hypotheses is a plus
• You have a drive for leading initiatives and features till the end, even if the last mile is the hardest, and for monitoring and ensuring their success even after delivery
• You feel at home with microservice architecture and you are experienced in API design
• You have strong principles towards writing clean, simple, secure, and maintainable code
• You possess solid understanding of algorithms and data structures
