• Collaborate with product managers and business counterparts to design best-in-class systems and processes.

• 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.

• Experience in designing, building, launching, and maintaining products at scale.Strong cross-team communication and collaboration skills.
• Proficiency with agentic coding.
• Knowledge of Python, JavaScript/React, Airflow, Spark, Horizon Portal, and SQL is a plus.
• 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.
• This position requires either equivalent practical experience or a Bachelor’s degree in a related field.
