- Provide expert code reviews and technical mentorship within the team.
- Design solutions on modern infrastructure (cloud solutions, k8s, LLMs) with expert level understanding of what and why, not just being able to call infrastructure or run pipelines.
What We’re Looking For:
- 5+ years of professional software development experience, with meaningful time spent building backend services or service integrations
