  • 5+ years of experience growing cross-functional organizations.
  • 5+ years of experience working on wide-scale, high-availability SaaS infrastructures
  • Experience improving developers experience
  • Experience restructuring and reengineering teams & processes to deliver measurable impact

    • As we are an international team, please submit your application and CV in English.
