About you
- Experience shipping high-quality backend code into production.
- Experience orchestrating and managing cloud infrastructure (preferably in the infrastructure-as-code paradigm, or a willingness to learn)
- Comfort with the devops culture, and with the idea of being involved with the management of the systems that you build through their entire lifecycle.
- Collaborative spirit and a strong desire to learn from teammates and to work as part of a team that is greater than the sum of its parts.
