* Advocate, encourage and influence innovation by being an effective technical leader.


* Work in multi-functional agile teams to regularly experiment, iterate, and deliver on new product objectives with end-to-end responsibility for your team's goals as well as working across teams when needed.



Preferred Skills:

* A sense of humor (Non-negotiable). We work too hard to not have fun and celebrate individual/team/company accomplishments.


* 10+ years of commercial software development experience.


* 1+ year building or using cloud services in a production environment.


* An understanding of team and individual goals and are motivated to accomplish them.


* Developing multi-tenant SaaS Applications with Java/Scala/Ruby.

* Developing software using a microservices architecture, with knowledge of Docker and Kubernetes, in leading cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP).


* Solving complex technical problems that involve researching multiple solutions, rapid prototyping, and then making the appropriate trade-offs.



We are already interested but would love experience with:

* Development and operational experience with Kafka and ElasticSearch


* Knowledge of creating and accessing GraphQL API interfaces


* Data Pipeline architecture and technologies including cloud-based data storage and query systems (we use AWS Athena and Spark to access parquet files on S3)
