Expertise in systems engineering, including knowledge of stateless/fault-tolerant systems, event-driven patterns, and distributed paradigms
Strong debugging instincts and energized by hands-on operational work, not just feature development
Excel at cross-team collaboration and have a "rising tide lifts all boats" mentality, positively influencing others across the organization

Build, test, and maintain fault-tolerant infrastructure for GraphQL runtime platforms, primarily in idiomatic Rust, ensuring security, performance, and reliability

Operate and improve durable, stable public APIs used by the world's most demanding GraphQL workloads
Engage directly with users — whether community members or enterprise customers — to understand their needs, debug issues, and bring insights back to influence the platform's evolution
Design scalable, observable systems that integrate seamlessly into diverse customer infrastructure stacks, leveraging self-initiated research and real-world feedback
Collaborate with engineers across teams using supportive communication and constructive code reviews to deliver cohesive solutions
Mentor and guide teammates in architecting and writing idiomatic Rust code, while considering the end-to-end impact of changes and ensuring alignment with cross-domain concerns
Lead architectural discussions and cross-team initiatives, driving impactful changes as a technical leader or coaching others to step into leadership roles
