  • Production experience working with database storage systems, SQL (Postgres, MySQL, etc.) and NoSQL (MongoDB, CouchDB, DynamoDB, Bigtable, Cassandra)
  • Experience building high throughput, fault-tolerant, distributed systems
  • Experience working with a fully remote team
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills
  • Proficient understanding of distributed code versioning tools, such as Git
  • Strong problem-solving skills with a creative approach
  • Ability to clarify ambiguity and work in dynamic fast-paced startup environment

A Bonus If You Have:

  • Experience with handling financial transactions for an e-commerce company (i.e. payment processing, fraud detection/prevention, accounts payable to suppliers, sales tax, etc.)
  • Experience with ticketing systems
