The position

We are creating this position because the workload has grown. The Director of Engineering will build and maintain services, APIs and internal tools, working closely with product and design.

What you'll be doing

Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items. Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic. Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents. Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates. Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green. Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.
