  • 2+ years as a manager or in a similar leadership role
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems, observability, software development lifecycle and cloud infrastructure.

 

Bonus Traits: 

  • Experience working with Agile delivery
  • Experience growing a team through hiring & performance management
  • Experience managing expectations of stakeholders within large organizations

We can offer:
