Required
Extensive Backend Engineering Experience – This role will be nearly entirely focused on API-based customer acquisition, so the technical focus is on our backend. An ability to quickly ramp up on – and exercise best practices in – Python and NodeJS is required.
Product/Business Chops – You will have executive-level P&L responsibility. Thus, you will need to be able to bone up on our business, accurately model our product domain, effectively prioritize projects and tickets, and be able to converse about technical ideas and trade-offs from the perspective of a business owner.
Organization – Our team manages an incredibly wide surface area of software. Keeping tabs on everything requires the design and execution of systems and processes.
Motivational and Positive Attitude – As a people and hiring manager on the engineering team, building trust, respect, and rapport with staff, stakeholders, and prospective new hires will be essential.
Comfort with Data – The more comfortable you are with techniques for optimally storing, accessing, analyzing, and predicting data, the more effective you will be able to be in the role. This spans familiarity with how to store data for auditing, transform data for analysis, access and analyze large corpuses cost-efficiently, launch and maintain machine learning in production, scientifically analyze experiments, and more.
A Brisk Pace – We don't need a 'pre-seed' sprinter/prototyper, but we also can't operate like FAANG molasses. We need a strong context switcher who can quickly ramp up on new types of problems, think on their feet, exhibit a bias for action, and avoid letting perfect be the enemy of the good.
