• Be an architectural "consultant" and software expert to product teams at the design stage of their features and services.
• Identify inefficiencies, risks, and reliability issues, and write high-leverage tools to tackle them.
• Provide technical overview without writing the infrastructure related software.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelors Degree in computer science, computer engineering, EE, physics or math and 12 years of experience.
• 5 years software development experience or equivalent research experience. Experience performing software design, code, and testing. Must have an interim Secret clearance and be a US citizen to start.
