Requirements
• Strong track record as a senior technical leader (Staff or equivalent) delivering cross-team impact: setting standards, aligning stakeholders, de-risking complex technical decisions, and landing changes in production. • Extensive hands-on experience designing, building, maintaining, and troubleshooting high-traffic distributed systems in production. • Strong software engineering skills in Python / Django, with the ability to write production-quality tooling and services. • Deep experience with DevOps and cloud infrastructure (preferably AWS): networking basics, identity and access patterns, infrastructure automation, and operational best practices. • Strong experience with CI/CD systems, build and test reliability, artifact management, and developer workflows. • Strong foundations in reliability engineering: observability, alerting, incident response, capacity planning, and automation-driven prevention. • Strong written communication and technical influence (RFCs, clear tradeoffs, and driving alignment). • Willingness to participate in paid on-call rotations.
Responsibilities
• Provide technical leadership across platform squads: architecture decisions, engineering standards, paved paths, and reusable patterns that reduce cognitive load and increase consistency. • Lead cross-squad and cross-engineering initiatives that improve the path from code to production: CI foundations, delivery workflow reliability, environments, and self-service entry points. • Drive operability improvements: SLO thinking, dashboards, alerting standards, runbooks, failure recovery patterns, and incident readiness across platform-owned systems. • Go deep on high-impact reliability and performance problems, including root cause analysis, remediation design, automation to prevent recurrence, and postmortem follow-through. • Build and operate critical platform services and tooling that serve production traffic and internal users, with strong engineering quality and operational discipline. • Act as a multiplier through mentorship: coaching senior engineers and tech leads, improving design quality, and raising execution standards across the tribe. • Use data to guide priorities and measure outcomes (delivery health, reliability signals, adoption, and satisfaction), and help teams turn metrics into durable improvements. • Participate in on-call and major incident response, leading by example and helping teams improve incident execution and prevention over time.
Benefits
• An open, collaborative, dynamic and diverse culture. • A generous monthly allowance for lessons on Preply.com, Learning & Development budget and time off for your self-development. • A competitive financial package with equity, leave allowance and health insurance. • Access to free mental health support platforms.
