Location:

Anywhere in the Americas

Here’s what you’ll be doing:

• Building production-grade backend services and APIs to delight customers

• Testing, releasing, and operating your code in production

• Navigating with some ambiguity while solving problems and pursuing solutions to difficult challenges

We’re excited about you because:

• You have strong Python skills (we use Django) or mastery of similar backend technologies in a large, complex codebase

• You test your work (with automation) and follow traffic as customers use your features

• You tech-lead critical projects or initiatives within your team and organization

• You have experience in some of:

  • Serverless applications, especially with AWS and Lambda

  • Data-driven applications, with tools such as PySpark

  • The needs of data engineers and analytics teams, such as with Snowflake, Databricks, Airflow, dbt, or many similar tools (our customers)

  • Observability - a love of software APMs, debugging tools, and uptime metrics

• You collaborate with your team in a remote-first environment

• You get your urgency from user feedback and product vision
