There's so much to do. We can't wait for you to join us.

You want to work on a small, close knit team of brilliant engineers consumed by a consequential and yet-unsolved problem

Being a trailblazer-in our architecture, in our approach, and in our team-is an inspiration, not a burden

Become a key owner of the backend systems and processes

Lead and mentor other engineers on the growing team

Iterate on existing applications as well as architect entirely new ones

Collaborate with the CEO and CTO to identify and prioritize the most impactful improvements to our product

Bring 5+ years of engineering experience that shows a hunger for future growth and mentoring

Bonus points...

On the backend we're currently using Typescript/Node.js and GraphQL for our primary services, however that will evolve as the business requirements solidify. The most important thing is that you're nimble, intelligent, and hard working.

To be honest

We don't care if you didn't graduate high school or have 3 PhD's--we care that you ship delightful product and can work on features from ideation to ship.
