• Collaborate with Product, Marketing, and other Engineering teams to clarify requirements and deliver effective solutions
• Support and improve the team’s engineering standards, including CI/CD, monitoring, and documentation
• Make technical trade-offs across performance, quality, and cost
• Participate in hiring, onboarding, and knowledge sharing, in line with your experience and interests

• Ability to troubleshoot complex systems and perform effective root cause analysis
• Experience working in Agile, cross-functional teams
• Strong English communication skills, written and verbal
• An engineering-driven mindset, with solid analytical and problem-solving abilities

It's great if you have

• Experience integrating with external APIs or third party- platforms at scale
• Familiarity with advertising, marketing, or experimentation systems
• Exposure to observability and operations tooling, such as Grafana or similar monitoring systems
