• Experience with or knowledge of distributed systems, event-driven architecture
• Experience building reliable, scalable, complex software applications
• AWS experience, CDK and CI/CD skills

• You are interested in understanding and solving customer problems. You think about how your work – at all levels – impacts our customers and improves their experience.
• You are aligned with our values and demonstrate them through your working practice.

It’s not expected that any single candidate would check every box here — what’s important is that you arrive with a strong set of fundamentals, and that you’re committed to building the skills you’ll need to do great work.
