  • Mentor other engineers and foster a culture of continuous learning and technical excellence within the team.
  • Who You Are

  • You have significant experience building and scaling backend services (Java and/or Python) in a large-scale, cloud-native environment like Google Cloud Platform.
  • You have hands-on experience with Machine Learning, including developing, deploying, or maintaining ML models in a production environment.
  • You have proven experience building and maintaining data pipelines to support ML and analytics use cases.
