What we're looking for

• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers
• Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design

Preferred
