Needs

Technical hiring. We keep well over a hundred roles open at once, mostly engineering, across many hubs.

Cloud cost optimization. Network-heavy consumer products make infrastructure our largest variable cost.

Today: platform engineers tuning multi-region hosting for a vast consumer user base · Urgency: this year

Identity & access management. Staff move between many product lines, so access reviews are complex.

Today: an internal IT team managing workforce accounts and devices across offices · Urgency: later
