• At least 6 years' experience of commercial software development, solving different kinds of technical problems
• Experience with reactive programming in native mobile platforms
• Willingness and ability to take on new technologies
• Ability to break down complex problems into simple solutions

• Sense of ownership and pride in your work

Benefits

• Competitive compensation packages, including base salary and annual bonus
• Remote-friendly collaboration with the option to join on-site as often as you'd like in select locations
• Flexible schedule. Work-life balance is ingrained in our culture by design. Trust and accountability make it work.
• Donation matching. We match qualifying charitable donations annually.
• Tuition assistance. Annual support for qualified programs.
• Lifestyle benefit. An annual benefit to spend on yourself.
• Travel perks. Discounts and more for travel enthusiasts.
• Employee assistance program. Resources and programs to help you through life's challenges.
• Health benefits. Great coverage and competitive premiums.

Values

• We aspire to lead. Tap into your talent, ambition, and knowledge to bring us - and you - to new heights.
• We're relentlessly curious. We push beyond the usual, the known, the quot;that’s just how it’s done.
• We're better together. We learn from, accept, respect, support, and value one another—and are creating something remarkable in the process.
• We serve our customers, always. We listen, question, respond, and strive for wow moments.
• We strive for better, not perfect. We’ll provide a safe environment to make mistakes, iterate, improve, and grow.
