Deep expertise in backend, frontend, distributed systems, APIs, databases or cloud infrastructure.
Strong system design and architecture skills for complex or high-scale systems.
Strong coding ability and willingness to remain hands-on.
Track record of technically leading major engineering projects from design through production.
Ability to make sound technical trade-offs, influence engineers and solve complex production problems.
Nice to have
