• Improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes.

• Troubleshoot and debug complex issues throughout the stack, from the database to the browser.

• Participate in code reviews to maintain a high-quality code culture.

Your Experience 

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
