Who You Might Be:

  • 5-8+ years of software development experience in one or more general-purpose programming languages; Go, Python, Rust, C++.

  • Experienced with distributed caching layers, and distributed large scale data storage systems like Cassandra.
  • Strong organizational skills, the ability to prioritize tasks and to deliver projects on schedule.
  • BS degree in Computer Science, a similar technical field of study or equivalent practical experience.
  • Entrepreneurial spirit. You are self-directed, innovative, and biased towards action in fast-paced environments. You love to build new things and thrive in ambiguity and even failure.
