We’re creating a faster world with simpler experiences. You in?
Redis Cloud is the fastest and easiest way to consume Redis databases as SaaS. Redis provides cloud solutions that enable our customers to securely and easily provision and use Redis databases. We’re looking for a Team lead to lead the development of all these offerings we provide to our customers.

- Work with various stakeholders to define and implement various business models (offerings/services) to let our customers choose the best option suitable for their needs.
- Design and implement backend services that build, monitor and maintain our various cloud services.
- Actively participate in the coding activities of the team (not just code reviews).
- Setting a high standards for design, coding and tooling for the team.
- Driving and adopting the usage of AI tools to accelerate the development of these services.
- Collaborating with our cloud operations group to understand their needs and provide automated tools to address them.
What You Will Need:

- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, both within and outside the team.
- Experience running complex SaaS offerings with deep awareness and understanding of production environments.
- Passion for high-quality code and keeping up with new technologies.
Bonus:
