• Improve incident response through better coverage and monitoring
What they’re looking for
• Expert-level Python development with a focus on backend systems
• Experience designing and building scalable, distributed systems

• Familiarity with observability tooling such as Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry
• Experience with DevOps tooling (Terraform, ArgoCD, Helm, Jenkins)
• Interest in improving developer experience and working closely with end users
