Job summary

We are a 100% distributed company with no office, and you’ll collaborate with design and engineering teammates worldwide to ship reliable releases and drive technical excellence.

Qualifications

• Must have strong hands-on software development experience and be able to write production grade code.
• Ability to own features from decision through release and collaborate with design teams.
• Experience in maintaining and improving reliability metrics for key features.
• Commit to code quality and provide constructive pull request feedback.
• Ability to unblock the team and proactively solve blocking issues.

• Reduce manual steps to achieve reliable releases.
• Root-cause recurring problems and implement long-term fixes.
• Advocate for verification automation to streamline checks.

Responsibilities

• Own major features end to end, working closely with our design team — from the decision through to release. This is real delivery, not oversight
• Own, maintain, and improve reliability metrics for key features
• Review pull requests and give the kind of feedback people learn from, not just approval
• Unblock the team: notice when someone has been stuck on the same thing for two days, and go take a look yourself
• Notice when something one person built should become the version the team uses, and see that change through
• Keep the shared pieces in working order — tested, clear enough for someone else to pick up, and consolidate when three versions of the same thing appear
• Call it when the team is ready to change how it works, rather than waiting for that to happen..
• Reduce how much manual intervention it takes to get a correct release out
• When the same problem shows up twice, get the underlying setup changed so there isn't a third time
• Shift verification left: grow what can be checked automatically so
