What You’ll Need:

• Proficient in GO, Back-end Engineering.
• Experienced with Kubernetes or major cloud platforms from Google, Amazon and Microsoft Azure.
• Promote testing as a natural part of any coding effort to improve code quality.
• Have high standards for code quality, testing and continuous delivery and enjoy working with others to raise the bar.
• Enjoy working on early stage products; talking with customers to identify, prioritize and solve problems iteratively and build something that they really love.
• Feed off complex technical problems and find solutions where others see roadblocks.
• Embrace challenges and learn from them.
