Requirements
  • You have seen a lot and built a lot compared to your peers.
  • You have personally developed and maintained multiple systems from scratch and you know what trade offs are involved in building reliable, performant software at speed.
  • You want your work to have a tangible outcome for people.
  • You're not satisfied when building products that do not see the light of day or move a number by a tenth of a percent.
  • You enjoy all aspects of building not only software but a complete product and are comfortable moving across the stack when necessary.
  • You enjoy problem solving and thinking from first principles.
  • You’re ready to pick up new skills and build quickly.
  • You're happy to tackle problems without a predefined clear definition or obvious solution, and are excited to have autonomy to make decisions as you go.
  • You understand that being a member of a high-performing team requires two things. You contribute your best work. You also help others contribute their best. You enjoy lending a helping hand when needed and levelling up those around you.
Responsibilities
  • You will be entrusted with end-to-end ownership of your projects.
  • From product, design and architectural decisions, all the way to deployment, monitoring and measuring impact on users.
  • You will work across the stack, covering everything from deployment to styling.
  • We expect each other to take initiative, be proactive in problem-solving, and continuously seek improvements.
  • You will often work autonomously to take charge of your projects, make decisions, and drive your work forward.
  • But as a lean and high trust team, we remain quick to collaborate and support each other with challenging problems together.
  • You will tackle complex domains and immense scale with simple solutions.
