Experience building and deploying production systems-APIs, services, infrastructure, and/or data pipelines

Proficiency in integrating third-party APIs, databases, and external systems in a secure and reliable way

Strong problem-solving skills and ability to thrive in ambiguous, customer-facing environments

Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal

Bias for action-able to ship quickly, iterate fast, and own the full lifecycle of solutions

Willingness to travel for on-site deployments or customer engagements

Location:

This role will be based either in Paris, France or Remote, US

The final decision for this will lie with the hiring manager for each individual role
