5. Improve: Contribute to the ongoing improvement of your team’s quality standards and development processes
6. Build teams: Play an active role in building an inclusive and positive culture through active participation in team discourse, providing mentorship for junior team members and fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement

What We Look For

1. Experience: 8+ years of experience in software engineering with 2+ years of technical leadership responsibilities
2. 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
3. Technical Leadership: Demonstrated experience leading technical projects and mentoring engineers with the ability to drive cross-functional collaboration and influence technical decisions across teams
4. Team Player: Community builder with strong network-building and collaboration skills and a strong desire to grow and mentor others
