Qualification
Required
An eye for unlocking products with platforms. You design for today's use-cases while anticipating tomorrow's, ensuring the platform scales across teams and workloads. You bring a product mindset to platform work, shaping tools that developers genuinely want to adopt
Passion for systems at scale: You have worked on data or infrastructure-focused engineering teams, particularly ones that own a wide swath of software platforms (hosted or built in-house). You've experienced the challenges of scaling and re-architecting event-based platforms and infrastructure through orders of magnitude of growth and scaling data volume. You deeply care about performance and cost while delivering value
Adaptable and willingness to learn how things work: you love to learn how the systems you build are used at a fundamental level. You get excited at the idea of leaning into your users' world and help make it better
Thoughtful problem-solving & problem-seeking: For you, problem-solving starts with a clear and accurate understanding of the context. You can decompose tricky problems and work towards a clean solution, by yourself or with teammates. After gaining context, you can identify patterns and scope for improvements
Pragmatic and business-oriented: You care about the business impact of what you're building, and you prioritize projects accordingly. You're not just going after cool stuff—you understand the balance between craft, speed, and the bottom line
Empathetic communication: You communicate nuanced ideas clearly, whether you're explaining technical decisions in writing or brainstorming in real time. In disagreements, you engage thoughtfully with other perspectives and disagree and commit when needed
Team player: You understand work is better, together. You enjoy collaborating cross-functionally to accomplish shared goals, and you care about learning, growing, and helping others to do the same
