You’ll draw on your technical expertise and leadership skills to ensure our developer tooling is smooth, easy to use, and provides maximum value to an ever growing engineering organization.

Experience with Kubernetes and cloud providers (AWS, GCP).
A track record of leading large scale projects that require cross-team and cross-functional collaboration.
