Passion for building delightful developer experiences and pride in your craft
Experience working on production services, with CI/CD tools and with cloud providers like AWS and GCP
Good understanding and comfort with storage/caching solutions ranging from SQL databases (e.g. Postgres) to NoSQL systems (e.g. Redis)
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to describe complex systems in various degrees of technical detail
Experience working on or with remote / distributed teams
Bonus, but not required: Experience in the crypto/blockchain space or a deep curiosity about the landscape

We’d love to hear from you even if you don’t have experience or interest in every bullet. There’s no perfect candidate and we want to find the right fit, even if it’s different than we imagine. We especially would like to meet underrepresented/underestimated candidates.
