Please apply only if you're interested in large-scale migration.

• Development. Our systems are mainly in Python and Go. We are also migrating a few of our endpoints from Python to Go. 
• Skills in testing, SOLID, and design patterns are a must.
• Systems architecture. We make extensive use of Kubernetes, AWS, and Postgres, with internal tools for metrics/alerting and Grafana for dashboarding.
• We also use Redis in a few of our services.
• Work cross-functionally with product, design, and other engineering counterparts to execute product and business strategies and build novel products and features that our users will love.
• Communicate effectively, within the team and across disciplines.
