About you

You are a polyglot hacker, an endlessly curious jack-of-all-trades, and you're passionate about tools, developer-experience, with a solid experience of the challenges faced by other developers. Your strong sense of empathy helps you to understand your peers' challenges and you sharply understand how to balance solving now and future problems, carving a path to implement your vision. 

First, you have a deep understanding of the software lifecycle, having experienced it yourself by working on the product side, and a strong familiarity with all the tools supporting it; e.g.:

• You’ve worked with Bazel or other build systems to support polyglot codebases.
• You're passionate about automation, CI/CD and building self-service offerings for your peers.
• You've worked with GCP and Kubernetes. 
• You're naturally putting yourself in the shoes of other developers and constantly seek to understand their perspective. 
• You’re a great communicator and know that the job is finally done when your peers are solving their problems with the tools you built, you intuitively drive adoption and cater to your audience. 
• You're proficient at writing Go code, but you're a polyglot at your core.
