About you

  • 5+ years of experience designing, developing, and operating cloud software at scale.
  • Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively in flat, cross-functional teams.
  • Ability to make good decisions informed by team goals, domain knowledge, and sound engineering fundamentals.
  • Ability to manage risk, ambiguity, and dependencies.
  • A growth mindset and a keen sense of ownership.
  • Experience working with distributed teams in global engineering organisations.
