• Raise the bar: Hold a high technical bar while driving the improvement of your team’s quality standards and development processes
• Grow others: Play an active role in coaching and mentoring team members, providing timely feedback and creating an environment where every engineer is empowered to grow in their career
  
  

What We Look For

• Experience: 7+ years of experience in software engineering with 2+ years of engineering leadership experience
• Technical skills: Prior experience architecting, building, launching and maintaining OLAP systems with demonstrable knowledge of online storage systems, data replication processes and cloud data warehouses
• Technical leadership: Demonstrated experience leading technical projects and mentoring engineers with the ability to drive cross-functional collaboration and influence technical decisions across teams
• Team player: Community builder with strong network-building and collaboration skills and a strong desire to grow and mentor others
