  • Strong programming skills in Go and Python ; capable of architecting automation frameworks.
  • Advanced understanding of observability stacks (Datadog, Jeli) and distributed system performance.
  • Track record of influencing technical direction across multiple teams and domains.
  • Passion for reliability, performance, and creating systems that “run themselves.”
  • Compensation, Benefits & Perks

  • Collaborate with your manager and team to create a healthy work‑life balance.
  • 20 vacation days that we expect you to take!
  • Competitive health, dental, and vision insurance (100% employee and 75% dependent PPO, Dental, VSP Choice).
  • Employer‑sponsored 401(k) plan with company match.
  • Access to LinkedIn Learning and other resources to support professional growth.
  • Paid Family Leave, FSA, HSA, Commuter benefits, and Wellness benefits.
  • 40 hours of annual paid time off to participate in volunteer programs of choice.
  • Why Join Quizlet?

  • 🌎 Massive reach : 60 M+ users, 1B+ interactions per week.
