Who you are

- Architecture and Performance optimization: You are comfortable going deeper into the stack to untangle caching inefficiencies, and troubleshoot across a wide array of distributed systems that make up a dynamic web application. You know how to use monitors and testing to know if changes improved or degraded the experience. You know how to architect for performance and maintainability
- Adaptability: You have comfort working full stack in Python when needed to get things done. You have some experience with design tools like Figma or Sketch. If you've never worked with any of these in your life but want to fearlessly dive in, please still apply
