You have 5+ years of backend engineering experience building production systems at scale — you've owned services from design through deployment and have a strong understanding of how to capture and distribute data effectively. You possess deep expertise in Java and Spring — you've built high-performance backend services that support seamless user experiences and have a solid grasp of event-driven architectures. You are data-driven and understand the importance of experimentation in enhancing customer journeys — you thrive on making small changes that lead to significant impacts. You value curiosity and ownership, and you are excited about building systems that enable learning and growth. You are a collaborative team player who enjoys working with cross-functional teams to achieve common goals.
