The company is growing fast around the world, with headquarters in New York and offices in Austin, Berlin, Bucharest, Chicago, Dubai, Jakarta, London, Paris, San Francisco, São Paulo, Singapore, Seoul, Sydney and Tokyo.

The team puts high standards, teamwork, work-life balance, and greater equity and opportunity inside and outside the company at the center of how it works.

  • You will build new features with your teammates, improve performance, and advise on key architecture decisions.
  • You may design new versions of critical components and make the systems more resilient as they grow.
  • The team wants engineers who raise the bar for others and are keen to learn from the group in return.

Requirements

  • Your full-stack development background spans 5+ years.
  • You are an experienced technical leader.
  • You have a solid grasp of design, data structures, and algorithms.
  • You work independently, communicate and organize well, and have previously worked in a team.
  • Bonus: experience building software at scale
  • Bonus: professional work with Ruby, Go, TypeScript, or JavaScript; MongoDB or Postgres; Ruby on Rails or React
  • Bonus: experience with agile processes
