ANNOUNCEMENT BODY: Please join me in welcoming Maya, who's joining us as a Senior Backend Engineer on the Platform team starting Monday. Maya spent the last 4 years building payment infrastructure at a fintech startup, so she's no stranger to systems that absolutely cannot go down. Outside of work, she's training for her third marathon and has already run one on every continent except Antarctica - so if anyone wants a running buddy or just wants to hear travel stories, she's your person. Give her a warm welcome when you see her around! 3. SHORT VERSION: Welcome Maya to the Platform team starting Monday - 4 years of fintech payment infrastructure experience, and she's chasing marathons on every continent. 4. WELCOME MESSAGE TO MAYA: Hi Maya, really excited to have you joining the Platform team on Monday! Your payment infrastructure background is going to be a great fit here, and we heard about the marathon streak - very impressed. Looking forward to having you on the team.
