You have experience building and shipping revenue-generating products, with strong product acumen and a customer-first mindset
You have hands-on experience with Go and/or Java, and a track record building distributed, streaming systems at scale
You have experience managing engineers — or are ready to step into your first formal management role — and know how to set goals, give feedback, and help a team grow
