• Work closely with product, QA, and other engineering colleagues to deliver high-quality solutions that create customer value
• Participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation approximately one week every 6–8 weeks

• Strong experience with Linux, including debugging and operational troubleshooting
• A quality-focused and ownership-driven mindset, with the ability to take solutions from development to production
• Curiosity about AI and interest in understanding how it can be used in a practical and valuable way

It’s a plus if you also have

• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, including deployments, troubleshooting, or Helm
• Experience with observability practices such as metrics, logs, tracing, and reliability/SLO thinking
• Experience building or integrating AI/ML-enabled functionality
• Knowledge of secure development practices and vulnerability remediation
• Experience working in complex systems with multiple integrations
