- Ability to rapidly build credibility with engineers, customers, and partners.
- Ability to quickly learn and become conversant in new technical domains.
- Comfort working with geographically distributed teams.
- Experience working through relationships and influence to accomplish goals.
- Expertise in project management, project planning, and making the unpredictable predictable.
- Experience managing or developing critical internet services / platform infrastructure.
- Experience developing or leading work in distributed systems, database systems, storage engines, validation engineering, or performance engineering.
- Advanced understanding of data structures and algorithms in storage and indexing.

- We are seeking a hands-on manager with domain experience who is comfortable working in the details. Familiarity with several of the following technical areas and desire to gain experience in others is expected:
- Experience developing or leading work in distributed systems including traffic and load balancing; quota and rate limiting; tenant isolation; and security engineering.
- Experience developing open source software and interacting with OSS communities.
- Fundamentals of system-level hardware and networking components (storage devices and controllers, network interfaces, CPU and memory layout in server-class systems).
- Operating systems concepts (process scheduling, disk and network I/O, performance).
- Datacenter architecture (networking topologies, host placement strategies, and failure modes); design of multi-datacenter systems; failure domains; and wide-area networking.
- Understanding of distributed systems concepts (fallacies of distributed computing, CAP, FLP, etc).
- Understanding of database concepts (consistency models, isolation levels, crash and recovery semantics).
- Advanced concepts such as failure detection, smart clients, load balancing, request pipelining, speculation / retry policies, and operational semantics of high-throughput distributed systems.
- Performance engineering (design concepts, profile-guided optimization).
- Testing concepts (fault injection, property-based testing and model checking, workload replay, quality metrics).
- This role also requires excellent communication, ability to partner with our Site Reliability peers, and a high degree of customer focus when engaging with internal platform customers.
