Team Summary

The Pipelines team is responsible for reliably ingesting and orchestrating hundreds of thousands of pipelines per day at scale.

• 2+ years of professional experience writing high-quality, maintainable, and testable code for distributed systems, with part of this experience as a full stack developer.
• Interest in learning and using Clojure on a day-to-day basis, with support available for those new to the language, and an interest in working with Go and JavaScript.
• Strong observability skills, including setting up alerts, logs, and metrics, and using them to monitor and investigate issues.
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to identify problems, propose solutions, and evaluate the pros and cons of different approaches.
• Leadership skills, with the ability to guide and mentor team members, and potentially take on project leadership responsibilities.
• Excellent collaboration skills, able to work effectively within and across teams.
