About the Role

We are looking to bring on a backend software engineer to build out customer-facing features for our web applications. We are looking for engineers who are excited to listen to the voice of the customer, work directly with Product Management and UX Designers to understand and scope new product features, define the implementation of these features end-to-end, and implement the required backend logic.
