• 5 to 10 years of software engineering experience, primarily building with Java.
• An undergraduate degree in computer science or another STEM discipline.
• Experience at a leading technology company such as Google, Amazon, Meta, Uber, Lyft, or a comparable technology company.
• Strong distributed-systems and system-design experience.
• A record of sustained ownership and follow-through in prior roles.
• Experience building, testing, and operating reliable production systems.

• Full-stack experience, including customer-facing product surfaces.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure and continuous delivery practices.
Compensation and benefits
• Base salary of $167K to $230K, plus long-term incentive equity.
• Target annual performance bonus of $45K, paid 20% in cash and 80% in long-term incentive equity.
• Exceptional performance can qualify for bonus outcomes of up to five times the target. This is not guaranteed.
