• Partner with engineers on the team to help improve designs, code quality, and testing.
• Collaborate with product managers and business counterparts to design best-in-class systems and processes.
• With the support of your team’s tech lead and manager, you will break down larger projects into individual tasks, deliver them in multiple phases, and collaborate with others to ensure timely delivery of your work.
• You will support your peers and stakeholders in the product development lifecycle by collaborating with product management, design & analytics by participating in ideation, articulating technical constraints, and partnering on decisions that properly consider risks and trade-offs.
• You will support the operations and availability of your team’s artifacts by creating and monitoring metrics, escalating when needed, and supporting “keep the lights on” & on-call efforts

What We Look For

• You have a total of 2+ years of experience as a software engineer.

• Experience in designing, building, launching, and maintaining products at scale.
• Strong cross-team communication and collaboration skills.
• Proficiency with agentic coding.
• You have mastered taking a simple problem or business scenario into a solution that interacts with multiple software components, and executing on it by writing clear, easily understood, well tested and extensible code.
• You are comfortable navigating a large code base, debugging others’ code, and providing feedback to other engineers through code reviews.
• Your experience demonstrates that you take ownership of your growth, proactively seeking feedback from your team, your manager, and your stakeholders.
• You have strong verbal and written communication skills that support effective collaboration with our global engineering team.
• Someone who is proactive, organized, curious, and a self-starter.
