Please note that meetings or live slack interactions will be in the working hours of San Francisco (PST) time zone. We anticipate more collaboration and overlap with the PST time zone, probably more in the beginning and maybe less in the future as the developer gets familiar with the projects, teams and the program.

  • Experience with Kubernetes, Docker and Helm
  • Experience with GitLab CI 
  • Experience deploying performant software in cloud environments (AWS preferred) 
  • Demonstrated adherence to best practices in software engineering, particularly usability, version control, testing, and appropriate use of abstraction.
  • Demonstrated ability to effectively communicate about complex problems to peers, users and leadership.

   

  In addition

  • You are a quick learner, are curious about new areas and the opportunity to build expertise, and courageously and creatively take initiative to see your ideas implemented.
  • You are attracted by the challenges of developing software that solves universal problems.
  • You are able to perform at a high level in a fast changing and demanding environment.
  • You are pragmatic about the tradeoffs between features, quality, and timeliness.
