Keep up to date with relevant software engineering technologies and practices.
Communicate technical decisions and priorities clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Join the team's on-call rotation to troubleshoot and resolve production issues once familiar with the systems.

Requirements

Experience designing, building, debugging and operating distributed systems.
Strong experience developing server-side software in Java.
Experience designing and evolving messaging protocols or software libraries.
Experience using different forms of testing to support software quality, including correctness and performance.
Experience measuring, benchmarking and profiling components or systems.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
