Responsibilities

• We built a Git-backed data storage service to scale with our growing customer base, serving thousands of projects seamlessly via Git storage
• To keep ReadMe moving forward, we took a hard look at our original API layer and realized it needed a redesign—not just for our sake, but to make our customers’ lives easier too
