· Focus on never disappointing the customer, even when things go wrong
· High value placed on code quality and understanding the true requirements
· A drive to build systems so resilient that we never get woken up in the middle of the night
This position can be either in-person at one of our offices, or remote. The 3PP team has members across the US, and takes a remote-forward approach to our day-to-day to ensure we have the best people for the job, no matter where they are located.
