Requirements - At least seven years of experience building and shipping production software. - Deep expertise in one or more areas such as backend or frontend engineering, distributed systems, APIs, databases or cloud infrastructure. - Strong system-design skills for complex or high-scale systems. - Strong coding ability and willingness to remain directly involved in implementation. - A record of technically leading major projects from design through production. - Sound judgment on technical trade-offs, ability to influence engineers, and skill in resolving complex production issues. - Strong English communication for collaboration across distributed teams and time zones.

Nice to have - Experience scaling systems, engineering teams or development practices during significant growth. - Experience working across multiple products, markets or countries.
