• Experience building cross‑functional, broadly scoped platforms with high test coverage.
• Hands‑on experience with infrastructure‑as‑code tools such as Terraform, Kubernetes, or CloudFormation.
• History of delivering critical projects under tight timelines, working independently and proactively.
• Performance tuning expertise for large data set front‑ends and visualization platforms.
• Familiarity with CI/CD environments and automated testing frameworks.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across engineering, product, and design teams.
• Technical degree required and must reside in a hub location (Seattle or Santa Monica).

Preferred Skills:

• Collaborate with design and test teammates to deliver high‑quality, testable features on tight timelines.
• Participate in code reviews, team planning sessions, and architectural discussions.
• Support a broad platform of associated tooling through on‑call rotation as needed.
• Contribute to frameworks, environments, build systems, and tooling that enable platform scalability.
• Write clear documentation for platform functionality and processes to aid knowledge transfer.
• Participate in strategic analysis of existing technologies, future projects, and architectural decisions.
