- Collaborating with design, product and platform engineers to develop systems that scale across the engineering org

- Proficiency in Node.js, Typescript, Docker, and cloud infrastructure (AWS or equivalent)
- Prior experience in platform engineering, internal tooling, or developer experience teams highly preferred
- Experience with SSO/SAML/SCIM or other provisioning/auth patterns, and familiarity with building tools for secure PII handling, test data, or permissions systems preferred
