  • B.S. in Computer Science or equivalent experience
Preferred Qualifications
  • Professional experience designing and engineering shipping products
  • Experience collaborating with cross‑functional teams to design and build systems software with a customer focus
  • Passionate about details and comfortable with complex, multi‑faced problem spaces
  • Passion for developer‑focused UX, tools, and API design
  • Comfort with large and established codebases, including complex debugging scenarios
Compensation and Benefits

Base pay range for this role is between $184,700 and $324,800, and may vary based on skills, qualifications, experience, and location.

You’ll also receive benefits including comprehensive medical and dental coverage, retirement benefits, a range of discounted products and free services, tuition reimbursement for formal education related to advancing your career, and other benefits such as discretionary stock programs and bonuses.
