What you’ll do

You’ll be responsible for shipping products from 0-1 and their maintenance once they’re in production. We’re a customer obsessed team and we also expect you to talk to our customers, iterate on what you push, and continuously improve. Most of all, you will be the sole architect, designer, and engineer on multiple systems across our stack

  • Designing / Working on Distributed Systems

What a Good Fit looks like

  • Value good design and UX (an eye for it)
  • Thrive with owning end-to-end product development 
  • Able to easily communicate complex ideas simply 
  • Extremely Proactive (about everything)

What we Care about

  • Customer Obsession: Our goal is to make every customer love what we build, whatever it takes.
  • Beautiful Design: Software should be beautiful, it’s in the details
  • Accountability: Taking things end-to-end, owning up to when we make mistakes, and fully trusting each other along the way 
  • HighBar: We demand a high bar for ourselves, we expect you to have one too. Once you achieve something, take it up a notch 
  • Open-Minded: We love to debate the details. Disagree with us - We’re not always right. Every decision we make we should have full confidence in

Fun Facts:

  • Our team has experience from companies like Apple, Convoy, Netflix, and more
  • We’re backed by amazing investors like Village Global, Y Combinator, the founder of Guitar Hero (cool right?), and executives from Intuit, Anyscale
  • We have a Señor Sisig addiction (it’s a once a week must on the lunch rotation)
