Job description

Engineers on our team today:

  • Work primarily in TypeScript, and dabble in Shell as necessary

  • Build APIs in Node.js

  • Are extremely supportive, especially when teammates are faced with new challenges

  • Are left to autonomously figure out solutions to their challenges

  • Think hard about every problem and its solution from user’s perspective

  • Value clear and frequent communication (we do a lot of reading and writing)

  • Enjoy being a generalist and are not tied down to a specific framework or surface area of our codebase

  • Are naturally curious and willing to learn something they don’t have experience in

  • Feel a great sense of accountability to each other

  • Have good judgement of when to ship: perfect is the enemy of good

  • Have a fundamental understanding of Linux/Docker/networking
