• Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building data platforms, infrastructure platforms, or internal developer tools.
• Experience with Kubernetes or infrastructure-as-code technologies.
• Experience with technologies such as Kafka, Flink, Spark, Trino, EMR, Airflow, or Temporal.
• Experience with observability, service-level objectives, or production reliability.
• Experience improving infrastructure automation, security, or cloud cost efficiency.
• Familiarity with building simple user interfaces or developer portals.

Who You Are

• You enjoy building reusable solutions that help other teams move faster.
• You are comfortable working through ambiguity and learning new technologies.
• You care about clean APIs, reliable systems, and thoughtful automation.
• You balance delivering value with building maintainable systems.
• You take responsibility for the systems you build and operate.
• You collaborate well and help raise the engineering quality of the team.

What Success Looks Like

• Teams can complete common infrastructure workflows through clear self-service experiences.
