  • Experience building platform capabilities, shared services, and engineering patterns that other teams can adopt
  • Strong judgement across reliability, scalability, performance, governance, security, and cost management
  • The ability to move between high-level architectural decisions and hands-on implementation

Nice to have

  • Experience with specific technologies in the stack such as GCP, Pub/Sub, Kafka, Apache Beam, Bigtable, Redis, Kubernetes, Airflow, BigQuery, Terraform, Python and SQL

What you get

  • Competitive salary package
  • Equity package

Worth weighing
