● Understand the challenges and trade-offs to be made when building and deploying 
new systems to production.
● Lead code reviews of the product, and use your knowledge of customers’

written.

 

What We Offer You:

areas, bringing in open source projects and contributing back, and exploring new 
technologies.
● A set of exceptionally talented and dedicated peers, from engineering and QA to 
product management and customer support.
