• Set engineering standards, best practices, and code quality bar
• Mentor engineers and help level up the team
• Identify and eliminate bottlenecks across the stack

• Experience with:

  • Real-time systems (messaging, notifications, streaming)
  • Cloud infrastructure (AWS or equivalent)
• Ability to operate with high autonomy
• Strong product intuition—can make tradeoffs between speed and scalability
• Experience mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction
• Comfortable working in early-stage, ambiguous environments

Benefits

• Flexible working environment with a lot of autonomy
• Remote working budget
• Educational budget and time to develop new skills
• Surrounded by an excellent, vibrant, smart team
• Direct access to founders and influence on product + business decisions
• Opportunity to build both consumer-grade social product and fintech-grade infrastructure
