  • Drive live-environment reliability, latency, and performance.

Who You Are

  • 3+ years of hands-on software engineering — you prove it by building, not talking.
  • Strong track record in technical problem-solving, from coding to architecture.
  • A business translator who can scope solutions with sales and product teams.
  • High-agency: you set direction and drive decisions through ambiguity.
  • Excellent communication skills to lead technical and business discussions with multinational clients.
  • Bonus: you've thrived in a fast-moving startup where speed and ownership matter more than titles.
