• Familiarity with AWS, infrastructure as code and containerized applications.
• Experience with metadata-driven applications, temporal data models or slowly changing dimensions.
• Familiarity with SOC 2 controls and secure software development.
• Experience working directly with founders or small product teams.

First 90 days

• Learn and document the platform’s architecture and major workflows.
