  • Comfort working across the full stack with an emphasis on backend systems.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a self-directed work ethic.
  • A friendly, collaborative, humble, honest, and always striving to be better attitude.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

  • 6-8+ years of professional software development experience.
  • Proven track record building and shipping production applications in Python and modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks.
  • Experience with Go is a strong plus.
  • Familiarity with Ascender, AWX, or Ansible automation platforms is a plus but not required.
