Senior / Lead Backend Engineer

We are looking for an awesome backend engineering lead to join our team!

This person will extend our back-end system architecture, develop services that will scale to tens of millions of users, and help grow and lead our backend engineering team.

Some things we look for

* Track record of delivering. What have you shipped recently? * Ability to acquire new technical skills. Your past experiences can certainly help you at the start -- see the next section -- but it's your ability to learn that matters most to us * Your ability to consider complex trade offs. Can you break down large problems into smaller ones and think through the implications of your decisions in the context of the complete system architecture? You should consider multiple approaches and be able to explain why you selected the one you implemented * Attention to detail. You find the corner cases and make sure they're covered * Sense of humor. We're very serious about building our product and company -- your stand-up routine won't get you hired -- but we believe a few moments of levity along the way makes everybody's lives better * Experience with Python
