  • Technical aptitude for understanding complex distributed systems.
  • Excellent written and spoken English with presentation skills.
  • Experience with agile software development methodologies.
  • Ability to mentor, develop, and support team members.
  • Result‑oriented, personally driven to meet commitments.
  • Ability to travel internationally twice a year for company events up to two weeks.

Preferred (Nice‑to‑have)

  • Experience with modern web front‑end frameworks (React, Angular, Svelte, Vue).
  • Data center infrastructure management and design expertise.

Benefits and Compensation

  • Distributed work environment; remote from 2004, with twice‑yearly in‑person sprints.
  • Personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year.
  • Annual compensation review and performance‑driven bonus or commission.
