• Collaborate and grow with your engineering colleagues of all levels through direct pairing sessions, architectural designs, documentation and talks.
• Identify and remove roadblocks to enable your team to increase its engineering velocity.
• Build resilient systems that are mission-critical.
• Keep up with the cutting edge and adopt new technologies to improve performance and reliability.

You may be a good fit if:

• You’ve shipped fast and snappy web apps loved by many users.
• You have experience shipping products with a large number of stakeholders.
• You’re comfortable with the front and back end of the stack, and have previously worked with Next.js, TypeScript, React, and Python.

• You’re excited to add new technologies to your toolbox and use them where it makes sense.
• You have the ability to take complex needs and goals and develop easy to understand explanations for all audiences.

If some of the above doesn’t line up perfectly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply!
