Actively participate as both a driver and a navigator, asking questions, sharing ideas, and contributing directly to the team's collective code ownership.Take part in code reviews and architectural discussions as you work with other software engineers and product managers\n Practice High-Quality Engineering: Use Test-Driven Development (TDD) to ensure our foundational systems are resilient before they ever touch production. Beyond the code, you will be an active participant in our team book clubs and psychologically safe retrospectives to help continuously elevate how we work.\nUse AI tools: Actively use AI tools to improve personal and team efficiency across coding, testing, design, and troubleshooting, exploring AI integration opportunities within team processes and features, and coaching others on effective AI use\nParticipate in On-Call Rotations: Share responsibility for operational health of our systems as part of a supportive on-call rotation. You'll be ramped in gradually with experienced teammates available to help.\nYou Have:\nFoundational Coding Skills: 8+ years of experience and proficiency in at least one modern programming language. Go experience is a plus but not required-we'll teach you.
