## What they're looking for

- Successful applicants typically have 10+ years of software development experience, including building and shipping full-stack, customer-facing products at scale
- A product-minded engineer who starts from the customer problem and the metric that matters, not just the ticket, and can operate independently across product, design, and data partners
- Demonstrated ability to move quickly and execute with high quality — someone who ships, measures, and iterates rather than waiting for perfect certainty
- Experience owning multi-quarter initiatives end to end, from early concept through measurable business impact
- Comfort navigating ambiguity and leading peers through influence, without relying on formal authority
- Experience with large-scale refactors, performance and reliability work, and a strong sense of technical ownership over your product area
