  • Ability to design and implement complex distributed systems operating under high load.
  • You must be self-directed, innovative, and biased towards action in fast-paced environments. You live to build new things and thrive in ambiguity and even failure.
  • Excellent communication skills. You must be able to collaborate effectively with teams in a fully-remote environment, and discuss complex topics with technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Experience mentoring engineers, owning team processes, and leading cross-functional projects is preferred.
