- Be expected to be on a call rotation with the reliability team.
You Have:
- 4+ years experience and you've worked on deep and challenging problems in complex Python codebases (C++ would be good to have).
- Telemetry expertise and a passion for accurate data and know what it takes to get the data right.
- Systems-level understanding with pointers, templates, and raw blocks of memory are tools to write code, not your enemies.
- Platform domain expertise where you can jump with ease between Windows, OS X, Linux, Android, iOS, and other platforms.
