• You have experience dealing with APIs, services, and data at scale, processing and transforming hundreds of millions of transactions and data points on any given day.
• You enjoy managing each team and project at the right level of detail, providing support and guidance without being afraid to get your hands dirty from time to time
• You have a proven track record of growing engineering teams through great hires, fostering the creation of a harmonious culture, and finding the right intersection between expediency and best practice.
• You’re a great mentor, and enjoy helping other engineers grow and realize their full potential.
• You take your job very seriously, but you don’t take yourself too seriously!
