• Experience with continuous integration, writing testable code, and test-driven development
• Proven track record of delivering cloud-native distributed SaaS platforms at scale, and with a meaningful adoption
• Traits such as being a fast learner, adaptable to changing landscape and most importantly a strong believer in being hands-on

Responsibilities:

• Responsible for designing and developing Privacy APIs and backend infrastructure to support large-scale data and privacy workflows
• Contribute to performance engineering efforts and ensure low-latency and high-throughput transactions at scale
