• Technical Depth: Strong background in our tech stack that optimizes your ability to be hands-on, with a strong track record of delivering high-quality work in fast-paced environments.

• Product Mindset: Comfortable working closely with product managers and designers and founders, with a bias toward shipping customer value.

• You’ll join as both an engineer and tech lead, contributing directly as an IC. This will give you deep insight into our technology, processes, engineering culture, and developer experience.
