  • Develop high-performance APIs and microservices serving global customer traffic

  • Build and operate distributed systems and event-driven architectures

  • Design real-time and batch data processing pipelines using technologies such as Kafka and Spark

  • Develop with a strong product-first approach, while prioritizing quality, reliability, security, and performance.

  • Collaborate multi-functionally with architects, product managers, data engineers, and site reliability engineers.
