About The Position

We are seeking a skilled software engineer with a focus on scalability, security, reliability, and extensibility. Our SRE team partners with product-centric engineering teams to provide infrastructure, tools, and architectural design to ensure the rapid and sustainable growth of all our services. Our team influences the thinking and methodologies of the entire engineering organization. A primary method for this is to provide smoothly paved paths toward good patterns, a few guard rails against particularly bad patterns, and a carefully minimized amount of toil. An excellent candidate will have the breadth of perspective to grasp both short term product feature goals and long term scalability goals, and the depth of technical skill to design systems that reconcile the two.
