 You’ll be working across the Enablement group’s product scope and work directly with others to provide advice and guidance on implementation approach, engage in cross-team technical discussions, build relationships across architecture and engineering that help resolve bottlenecks and provide the best production solution. You’ll need to understand and articulate the trade-offs between new functionality and stability, and you’ll need to persuade all involved to make the right architectural choices for the long term technical and financial health of the product.

• Reviewing code, offering improvements to practices and processes to impact the team and larger organization.
• Put yourself in the customers’ shoes by understanding how they use our products and advocating for solutions that represent their needs

Required: 

• 7+ years of experience building full-stack web applications using Typescript, Golang, Java, React, GraphQL or similar technical stacks.
• Experience as a technical leader mentoring and providing leadership to engineering teams

• Familiar with operating services end-to-end, including debugging and testing, release management and operational monitoring
• You are comfortable working across functions and across teams in order to express and recommend trade offs, drive alignment, and lead projects forward
• You provide a deep understanding of the complexities involved in writing large single-page applications.
• You write meaningful tests and understand the value of great logging, proper monitoring, and error tracking while also ensuring the user experience is pixel perfect.

• This role will be remote and based in the USA or Canada. (This position is a remote role but is not eligible to be hired in San Francisco, CA, Oakland, CA, San Jose, CA, or the surrounding areas.)
