Our almost 1,000-person team builds tools that make work better for the three billion frontline workers who keep the world moving.

You build consensus quickly, find the\n\nfastest path forward through ambiguity and help teams make good decisions\nwithout creating bottlenecks.\nYou simplify complexity. Whether it's explaining a cross-domain failure mode to leadership or designing a pattern that replaces ad-hoc solutions across teams, you make things clearer and easier for others.\n\nYou multiply the people around you - through coaching, pairing, code review and creating tools and documentation that raise the bar for everyone.\n\nYou think in terms of the customer experience and the business, not just the system.\n\nYou understand why reliability matters, not just how to achieve it.\n\nYou adapt your approach to what's needed - sometimes that's deep technical problem-solving, sometimes it's aligning stakeholders, sometimes it's mentoring a mid-level engineer through a tough project.\n\nNice to have\nCloudflare or other CDN based technologies\n\nAI Automation\n\nKnowledge of web technologies (Http 1.1 and 2)\n\nKnowledge of gRPC\n\nKnown architectural patterns such as Cell Based Architecture.\n\nSuccess looks like\nOur platform architecture is robust, resilient and provides answers before they become problems.\n\nReliability patterns and shared tooling are adopted as defaults, reducing the effort required for individual teams to build reliable features.\n\nOur platform shards at the data layer , allowing us to scale and contain our customers in smaller environments that carry less risk.\n\nIncidents and alerts are mitigated with ease, using automated tools and great observability standards.\n\nImplement a layer between development and platform, building out APIs to allow customers to use our infrastructure with relative ease.\n\nKey stakeholders\nProduct managers & group leads - partnering to determine what our external customers require and delivering a compliant, resilient system.\n\nEngineering teams across groups - the primary consumers of the platform group who interact with us on a daily basis.\n\nObservability team - Working alongside this team to facilitate a ready to use environment.\n\nEngineering and product leadership - providing a great foundational architecture that allows for their teams to build on top of with little to no friction.\n\nWe’re committed to building inclusive teams and cultivating a sense of belonging so our people can bring their whole authentic selves to work each day.
