• Innovate to build solutions that will form the backbone of our products
• Collaborate with engineers and operators from across several different organizations
• Provide a fresh perspective on complex problems

• 5-7 years of professional experience
• Experience with Datadog
• Familiarity with automated testing tools & processes
• Experience with Kubernetes & Docker

• Experience with designing and operating highly available, resilient systems
• Experience in developing API design, system design, and object-oriented design.
• Experience with the software development lifecycle, including the use of source control, CI/CD, and various testing approaches.
• Willingness to take ownership of new projects and drive them to completion.
• Ability to build technical and functional documentation for tasks, ensuring it is always up to date and comprehensible to both technical and non-technical audiences
