• Comfortable building developer-loved APIs that scale.
• Demonstrate a track record of leading a team including hiring, on-boarding, and professional development.

• At least 4 years of recent professional experience with TypeScript or Go.
• Solid understanding of computer science fundamentals including data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented or functional design.
