Job description

About the Role

You will be a Scala engineer in a cross‑functional development team. Likely technical challenges you will face in your first year will be related to adapting the architecture of our systems with strong customer growth in mind. Over time you will become the go‑to person within the team for backend development and will take initiative to learn and research new technologies, delivering code of great quality and keeping technical debt under control. A successful candidate will be pragmatic, collaborative, value simplicity and effectiveness, and be biased for action. They will consider being wrong an opportunity for learning and will not view any part of the software development lifecycle as someone else’s problem. Your job will be to help build a great product that our customers love and to help create a great environment to work in. We seek people who want to make an impact in whatever they can, contributing ideas to improve our product, our technology and the way we work. We value an Agile approach to product development, short iteration cycles, frequent releases to customers, and a product‑engineering mindset.
