Software Engineer

We function as a hybrid organization, actively hiring across North America. While we embrace remote work, we prioritize candidates who can frequently contribute from our San Francisco office.

What we are looking for:

We're seeking a Product Engineer who thrives on building features that delight users while maintaining high technical standards. The ideal candidate has 5+ years of hands-on experience crafting user-facing products, with expertise in modern web technologies, Python, and frameworks like Django. You understand how to balance technical trade-offs with customer needs with a focus on backend development.

Beyond coding, we value engineers who can effectively partner with product managers and designers to shape features from concept to launch. You should have experience leading medium-scale projects and a track record of breaking down complex product requirements into clear technical specifications. We're looking for someone who enjoys the full product development lifecycle - from user research and prototyping to implementation and iteration.

Communication is essential in this product engineering role, as you'll collaborate closely with our product and design teams to understand user needs and translate them into elegant technical solutions. You should be comfortable giving and receiving feedback during product reviews and design critiques, while also being able to clearly explain technical constraints and opportunities. A passion for great user experience and a natural curiosity about how your code impacts real users will help you thrive in this position.

• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently and in a team
