This role isn’t for you if

• You’re looking to rest & vest.
• You can’t commit to intense weeks (we sometimes run 6-day sprints).
• You’re not among the top 5% builders in your network.
• You can’t be in the office 3 days/week (hybrid in SF Bay Area).

Must Requirements

• 1-4 years of full-stack software development experience.
• If you have less than 2 years of experience, GPA ≥ 3.7
