- Emerging markets capabilities
- Admin portal
- Participant portal
- Tech stack:
- GCP, GKE
- PostgreSQL
- TypeScript backend (Node.js and Deno), although we are not tied to these technologies

- Drive architecture and technical design within your area, making pragmatic trade-offs and raising the quality bar
- Improve reliability, correctness, and maintainability through better testing, observability, and operational practices
- Collaborate tightly with Product and Sales on scoping, sequencing, and decisions
