Job description

If you’re like us, you agree that open source software is a wonderful and unique gift that the community of software developers across the world have given to each other.

About you:

• Experience building and supporting scalable SaaS products and features.
• Experience as a full-stack software engineer owning and building features end-to-end.
• Experience with relational databases and writing performant SQL queries.
• Ability to break down complex problems, drive towards a solution, and communicate it with the team and other stakeholders (both verbally and written).
• You're comfortable navigating complex domains and building intuitive software for them.
• You thrive in an environment that prefers prototypes over proposals.
• Proactive in sharing ideas and informed opinions with others
• Attention to detail and quality to anticipate edge cases ahead of time
• A growth mindset and willingness to learn new things
• You have 3+ years of experience working as a backend engineer.
