- Experience building complex systems involving asynchronous processing, concurrency, state management, or distributed workflows
- A track record of owning and shipping technically complex products or foundational systems from the ground up, ideally in startup or high-growth environments
- Strong architectural judgment and the ability to navigate ambiguity, make thoughtful technical tradeoffs, and execute with a high degree of autonomy
- Product-minded, with strong instincts for designing simple, extensible systems that solve complex engineering challenges
