• Backend programming experience in Hack/PHP, Python, Java, or Kotlin, with willingness to work regularly in Hack/PHP. \n

• Strong SQL and data-analysis skills. \n

• Experience with Python and shell scripting for automation. \n

• Proficiency with Git, code reviews, cherry-picks, and multi-branch development/release workflows. \n

• Strong written communication and ability to work independently. \n

• Ability to work primarily during Pacific business hours, including flexibility for on-call handoffs and launch-critical activities. \n, * Telemetry, logging, or analytics pipeline experience, including protobuf, serialization, sampling, batching, and data uploads. \n

• Android/Linux crash diagnostics experience with tombstones, minidumps, symbolication, bug reports, or log collection. \n

• Backend development experience with Hack/PHP, Thrift/gRPC, or protobuf. \n

• Experience developing dashboards, monitoring, and alerting for event or time-series data. \n

• Android framework or application development using Java/Kotlin. \n
