  • Follow Agile methodologies and practice Test-Driven Development (TDD).
  • Participate in an on-call rotation to address platform issues as needed.
To thrive in this role, you have
  • 6+ years of software engineering experience.
  • Expertise in Go or other backend languages such as Ruby, Java, or Python.
  • Hands-on experience with experimentation methodologies such as A/B testing, multivariate testing, and feature flagging.
  • A strong background in data science-related fields, including analytics, statistics, and machine learning.
  • Expertise in distributed systems, large-scale applications, and Big Data architecture.
  • A rigorous approach to testing and experience with test-driven development.
