Requirements
  • Bachelor’s degree with a major in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or other related majors, or equivalent experience.
  • Demonstrated experience building and maintaining multiple high-scale, event-driven, and decoupled systems leveraging modern cloud-based frameworks in e-commerce, fintech, health tech, or similar industries. We like Azure but AWS, GCP, or similar counts.
  • Experience working in environments where there are systems, processes, and culture that enable rapid, high-quality development and deployment: CI/CD, automated test practices and infrastructure, production observability, robust feature flagging and experimentation. Bonus for designing and implementing those systems.
  • Demonstrated experience in data-first environments where data technology plays a key role in identifying business opportunities.
  • Experience mentoring and coaching engineers through the senior level.
  • Working knowledge of engineering best practices for privacy and security compliance with PII/PHI: HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA or similar regulatory frameworks.
  • Applicants must be authorized to work for ANY employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.
Responsibilities
  • Deliver several multi-team projects in parallel or single-team projects of the highest complexity.
  • Lead development and guide implementation of the company’s technology strategy, creating technical vision and roadmap on a 12+ month horizon.
  • Level up the organization through teaching, coaching, and leading by example.
  • Set a technical quality vision and drive the roadmap to achieve it.
  • Design enduring system architectures and teach others to do the same.
  • Write code. While a smaller part of this role, we’re still small enough that you will have the agency and expectation to get your hands dirty.
