Take changes from requirements to production, including testing, deployment and checks after release
Choose practical technical approaches, explain the pros and cons, and suggest small design improvements
Strengthen reliability by improving tests, monitoring and runbooks, and by reducing technical debt
Investigate production issues using logs, metrics and traces, and lead reviews of incidents in assigned services
Work with Product, Engineering and local teams to turn merchant needs into clear business rules
What you'll bring
Backend development experience delivering changes independently in live services, with proficiency in Go or another backend language and the willingness to learn Go.
