About

We need a problem solver who wants to understand business challenges, operational issues, and software architecture, and how the three connect. We're looking for someone excited to learn from others while bringing independent ideas and perspectives, and someone who helps make the team productive and enjoyable to work in.

We prioritize our work towards security and customer experience, which includes new feature development and overall reliability of our systems as we scale our systems to support ongoing service growth. Each engineer owns one or more projects and is responsible for the entire software lifecycle, from design to development and operations. We meet daily to share progress with each other and discuss obstacles. Throughout the day, we communicate frequently and often break out in small groups to work together. We review every piece of each others’ code and offer feedback and tips to improve.
