  • Be familiar with and help the team utilize programming languages like TypeScript, Python, and React, NoSQL databases, Container Orchestration services including Docker, Serverless, and a variety of AWS tools and services

  • Share your passion for staying on top of tech trends, experimenting with and learning new technologies, participating in internal & external technology communities, mentoring other members of the engineering community, and prototyping/implementing the technical solutions, and from time to time, be asked to code or evaluate code
