  • A strong product mindset — you work well with Product and Design and care about delivering intuitive and elegant user experiences.
  • Ability to collaborate closely with Architects to make smart technical tradeoffs, and drive alignment across teams.
  • Passion for craftsmanship and high engineering standards (testing, monitoring, documentation, scalability).
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to lead technical discussions and build consensus across functions.
