  • 8+ years experience as a software engineer working with languages such as Ruby, Python, or GoLang. 
  • 3+ years experience in a project leadership role
  • Experience providing mentorship to junior engineers
  • A passion for optimizing services for scale and speed
  • Strong understanding of infrastructure behind a micro-service architecture

  • Strong collaboration, communication and project management skills
  • A strong sense of ownership
  • Experience spearheading adoption of best practice for the team to improve code quality and velocity

  • 100% medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Up to 25K reimbursement for fertility, adoption, and parental planning services
