    • Work closely with engineers to ship high-quality, production-ready features
    • Provide empathetic leadership and mentorship across the organization
    • Drive sound technical decision-making and help establish engineering best practices
    • Collaborate with Product, QA, and business partners to develop creative, practical solutions
    • Scope and break down abstract ideas into well-defined, actionable engineering work 

    Skills and Qualifications: 

    • 5+ years in Software Engineering supporting large-scale distributed systems.
    • Bachelor's degree in computer science or a similar field, or equivalent work experience.
    • Expert knowledge in the following technologies:
      • Python
      • Postgres or a similar RDBMS
      • RESTful API design or Fast API
      • Containerization – Docker and Kubernetes preferred
      • Microservices and Distributed Systems
      • Testing and test-driven development
      • Kafka or similar streaming/queueing technology
    • Strong collaborative skills, with both technical and non-technical groups
    • Proficient in using AI Coding assistants such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor to enhance productivity and code quality.
    • Agile mindset, with experience in Scrum, CI/CD, and Git.
    • Experience effectively utilizing AI technologies and tools (e.g., large language models, agents, etc.) to enhance workflows
