You might be the right fit if…

• You love writing code but care even more about having an impact: We’re a team of engineers at heart, but our #1 goal is building the best possible product. That means making pragmatic choices and looking for 80/20 solutions.

• You thrive in a fast-paced environment: We’re scaling quickly, and every team member’s contributions are critical.

• You’re persistent and resourceful: You enjoy tackling challenging problems and won’t stop until you’ve found a solution.

• You prefer perfection over progress: Velocity is key; we’d rather release quickly and iterate than wait for the perfect solution. We release as soon as we can, and get customer feedback immediately.
