Who you are not
You're not a Junior or Mid-level engineer. While we value mentoring, coaching, and curiosity, at this stage, we're looking for Senior+ Engineers to help lay a solid foundation before expanding to junior engineers.
You use Python, but you're not familiar with its fundamentals. In this role, we're looking for people who can set standards, have seen good practices and can explain and defend technical options.
You don't have experience with complex architectures. We have a high technical bar, as we're building with scalability in mind, so this role would not be a good fit if you have a shallow understanding of architecture and networking of data-intensive applications.
