About the role

We're looking for a Software developer with strong object-oriented coding skills, excellent attention to detail, and someone who holds their code to high standards and who is not afraid to give feedback on the product. 

Customer focus and comfortability with cross-functional partnerships are a huge plus. You should be able to lead the teams’ technology stack to ensure we’re building more robust, scalable, and operable systems.

We embrace agile software development practices and believe deeply in building teams composed of all skills needed to deliver value (SDE, PM, SDM, SQE, Design, DE, etc).  

We have a couple of teams working to give people the power to manage and ingest lots of media and data. Looking for an engineer who can help lead the teams’ technology stacks to ensure we’re building more robust, scalable, and affordable systems.

Teleworkers do not have a permanent corporate office workplace and, instead, work from a physical location of their choice which must be identified to the Company. Employees may live in any part of Mexico, but preferably in Mexico City, as we would encourage attendance for occasional in-office events.

In addition to a competitive base salary and benefits, this position is also eligible for equity awards based on factors such as experience, performance and location.
