Job Overview:

As an early hire, you will have an opportunity to build as well as help architect our systems and platforms, including our development practices and processes.

• Work with our team to create, design and implement a world-class development lifecycle, architecture, and toolset, from initial concept through DevSecOps delivery
• Define service architecture and APIs to implement the above
• Understand and participate in tradeoff discussions, but have the courage to stand behind principles and values that you believe cannot be compromised on
