And you'll spend meaningful time getting to know your direct reports and discover what excites and challenges them.
- We're excited for you to learn, grow, and contribute right away! We trust that you'll bring experience and knowledge that will uplift and uplevel the team, but we don't expect you to know everything on Day 1.

- You have a working knowledge across a breadth of computer science: programming languages, distributed systems, search, AI, data visualization, and real-time collaboration. You're not required to be an expert in all of these areas, but it helps to be an expert in some.
- You lead from the front by setting a good example and being willing to tackle less glamorous tasks, holding yourself accountable, and frankly acknowledging mistakes.
- You collaborate and foster trust with peer functions by leading and driving initiatives forward with or without your direct reports.
- You have a love of building systems and writing code (even if you're not able to do so anymore!)
Benefits
- The expected salary range for this role is between $160,000 and $215,000. The final offered salary will be dependent upon many factors including the candidate's experience and skills. The base pay range is subject to change in the future.
