- Own quality in all aspects of the development process, as we do early developer testing and functional/integration as well as performance testing to ensure we build robust and resilient products.
- Partner with Product Management to review and refine requirements that exceed our customers’ expectations.
- Develop deep understanding of the fundamental problems our customers need solved through interaction with stakeholders and peers.
Your Toolkit:
- Bachelor’s in computer science or equivalent degree. Master’s degree a plus
- 5+ years building distributed & scalable software and systems
