Full Job Description
About the Role
The FSH approach to building highly configurable software is modeled on Postgres. We describe what a product does as opposed to how it works. To do this at scale and with speed we heavily rely on a set of internal code generation tools that translate declarative configuration files into bespoke full stack applications. Our platform engineering team maintains these tools, often treating other teams as the customer.

Create and maintain platforms that enable building products quickly, robustly, and elegantly
Serve as a mentor to client engineers and technical operators
Translate customer desires to simplifying software abstractions
Define engineering culture
