We are looking for an engineering lead/architect with distributed systems experience. You should have experience with the design of major features and launching them into production. You've operated high-scale services and understand how to make them more resilient. You have the ability to drive projects and tasks independently as well as provide technical leadership for development teams.
The ideal candidate will be technically strong and get a lot done – you've worked on services that are highly available, scalable, and redundant. You understand that simple systems are easier to operate and troubleshoot. You can balance speed and quality with iteration and incremental improvements. You've made life easier for other developers and have motivated your teams to make both process and service improvements with your ability to automate and instrument properly to get the right data. You understand operational excellence and how to instill a culture of being proactive with your teammates.
The person in this role will get a lot done on a daily basis, drive tactical execution of features and projects, and own feature design.
