We’re looking for a Software Engineering Technical Leader that enjoys wearing many hats: a technical leader able to rally internal partners to execute on a deadline, at your best when mentoring and guiding team members, as well as a self-starter that’s willing to jump headfirst into the codebase and start creating or improving it immediately.

In this role, you can expect to work with engineering, design, product, marketing, in defining and executing our products plans & open source initiatives.

• At least 5 years of experience as a software engineer.
• At least 2 years of experience guiding technical decisions or leading engineering projects and being able to design systems that are easy to scale, understand, and maintain.
• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering or equivalent work experience.
• Strong experience building modern, cloud-based software.
• Demonstrated senior-level expertise in at least one modern programming language such as Go, Python, JavaScript (Node.js), Java, C#, C++, or Rust.
• Proficiency in additional modern languages (e.g. Python or Go) demonstrating versatility and language independence.
• Quick to learn, adaptable, and curious - comfortable working across different technologies, tools, and problem areas.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working with cloud vendors like AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure.
• Familiar with technologies like Kubernetes, containers, APIs, or microservices.
• Experience in any of these areas is a plus: cybersecurity, machine learning, generative AI, observability, or networking.
• Experience working in teams that use agile methods like Scrum or Kanban.
• You’ve contributed to open-source projects or enjoy helping others in tech communities.
• You enjoy writing clear documentation, tutorials, or blog posts to share your work.
