• Improve engineering workflows, including CI/CD pipelines and experimentation platforms.

• Take ownership of projects from initial problem-solving through delivery, working with limited direction.

What We're Looking For

• Proficiency in Go, or the ability and willingness to ramp up quickly.

• Experience owning and shipping consumer-facing backend features end-to-end with measurable impact.

• Experience in a fast-growing startup or another environment with a high engineering bar and the ability to deliver with limited direction.

• Familiarity with Kubernetes and Google Cloud Platform.

• Background in data-driven systems such as matchmaking, fraud prevention, or recommendations is valuable.

• Experience with real-time features, payments, consumer gaming applications, CI/CD, or experimentation platforms is a plus.
