About You:
You have demonstrated leadership experience in the past in a modern engineering environment, working across the full tech stack. Your motivation to lead is intrinsic and not from a belief that the sole means of career growth mandates management.
You know that ceremonies (daily standups, sprint reviews, etc.) aren't to be performed for their own sake, but you know why such ceremonies are held. You believe Agile and Scrum are mindsets, not a strict playbook that must be followed, but rather you run your team how you, and they, best feel will result in positive outcomes.
You design APIs that are meant to be consumed by others, so ease of use, simplistic design, and other attributes that benefit interoperability are key.
You believe in understanding why work is being done and empathizing with the users, not just implementing code and moving onto the next task.
You are outspoken in your beliefs and seek out and use data to drive decisions to help your team and project succeed.
You have demonstrated software delivery experience with a distributed product & engineering team.
You enjoy researching new technologies and methodologies and have a keen desire to dig into complex technical issues.
You can work in a fast-paced software release environment, where you continuously deliver production-grade software daily for a system with millions of users around the world.
You have contributed to the full software development life cycle, including writing application code, unit/integration/automation tests, documentation, and performance and security engineering.

Go, NodeJS, Java
