Job Description – Principal Architect

We are looking for a Principal Architect to lead our tech team as a leader (without necessarily being a manager). If you are hands-on (do not shy away from active coding when required) and are motivated by the joy of creating scalable products that drive industry leadership, please read on.

1. You should have 8+ years of quality experience in building scalable digital products/platforms with some experience in big data analytics and engineering.
2. Extensive experience in Linux stack and cloud technologies, and Python ecosystem.
3. It's ok if you don't have good answers, but to have smart questions that uncover risks and opportunities, you need the depth that comes with willingness and capability to be hands-on. Do you still code? Do you love to code? Do you love to roll up your sleeves and debug things?
4. Do you enjoy going deep into that part of the 'full stack' that you are not an expert of?

Here is a bit about our values and beliefs

 Our core values are 1) Transparency, 2) Bias for Action, 3) Persistence with Adaptability, 4) Curiosity and 5) Humility. We believe that successful people have more failures than average people have attempts. And that success needs the creative mindset to deal with ambiguities when you start, the persistence and humility to iterate and course correct, and the courage to handle failure and rise up again.

What we look for in our people

• We look for people who are initiative driven, and not interruption driven. The ones who challenge the status quo with humility and candor, but not arrogance.
• We believe startup managers and leaders are great individual contributors too, and that there is no place for context free leadership.
