- Experience in a fast-growing startup or another environment with a high engineering bar and the ability to deliver with limited direction.
- Familiarity with Kubernetes and Google Cloud Platform.
- Background in data-driven systems such as matchmaking, fraud prevention, or recommendations is valuable.
- Experience with real-time features, payments, consumer gaming applications, CI/CD, or experimentation platforms is a plus.
