  • Balancing research, planning, experimentation, and execution with business priorities and technology debt
  • Taking ownership of your technology stack and actively supporting it with your team (shared on-call duties)

To excel in this role, you should possess:

  • Experience in building diverse back-end service architectures
  • A curious mindset with strong critical thinking abilities
  • Adeptness in simplifying complex problems and a commitment to continuous learning
  • An understanding of macro-services, micro-services, and service monoliths
