• Optimize applications for speed, observability, simplicity

Requirements:

• Proficiency with web technologies (we use Vue) and a backend stack (we use Rails)
• Experience with relational databases like Postgres, data modeling, and data quality
• Ability to articulate and balance architecture tradeoffs - as well as good intuition for how architecture choices might play out long-term
• Accustomed to operating in a “you build it you run it” environment (incl. e.g. setting up an SDLC, managing deployments, and infrastructure)
• Intrinsic desire to learn and fill in missing skills needed to achieve the desired outcome
• Ability to move fast in an environment where things are sometimes loosely defined and may have competing priorities
