What you will be doing:

• Collaborate effectively with peers and partners to find opportunities and distill requirements, propose technical strategy and architecture, and tackle exciting technical problems.

• Establish, recommend, and model best practices of distributed systems for reliability, performance, monitoring, security, compliance, interoperability, usability, correctness, consistency, simplicity, etc.

• Mentor engineers across teams and locations.

What we need to see:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
