• You have a strong grasp of design patterns, data structures, and distributed and web architectures.
• You care deeply about observability, reliability, and quality, and you apply engineering best practices including testing automation.
• You have experience leading or contributing to large codebase refactors, including microservices or micro-frontend architectures.
• You are autonomous, take ownership of your work, and actively drive your personal growth.
• You value team success over personal success and enjoy uplifting and mentoring other engineers.
• You are a strong communicator and empathetic collaborator who can anticipate partner needs and work effectively across disciplines.
