• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.

What you'll need

• 3+ years of professional software development experience.
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL.
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript.
