  • Strong opinions on how to best use AI/LLMs in the software development process; ability to quickly discern hype from value in the quickly evolving AI landscape (and an equal ability to put it into practice)

  • Fluency and experience with data pipelines (using Spark and SQL) and data platforms (Databricks, Snowflake)

  • Experience developing full-stack applications or backend services, using popular frameworks such as Angular or Spring Boot

  • Familiarity or experience with front-end web development and UX design

  • Understanding of cloud compute and modern dev ops practices; experience crafting and owning CI/CD pipelines for applications

  • Ability to dive deep into any technical component as well as understand and drive the overall systems architecture; ability to make this architecture fit with over marketing priorities and context

  • Experience working in a fast-paced environment with cross-functional teams to translate business needs into reality-based requirements

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working effectively with data science teams

  • Familiarity with Kubernets and building scalable services
