THE ROLE
As a foundational member of our engineering team, you'll do all backend work to help ship new features for our web app.
We have a frequent cadence of shipping new features and a close connection to our market. With 900k monthly active users spending hundreds of thousands of hours on the platform, each contribution and feature you ship will have a meaningful impact for the users.
Since we're a startup, you'll have to be willing to get your hands dirty with (and learn) lots of technologies across the backend stack: API design, data engineering, algorithms, startup engineering, analytics, monitoring, web crawling, etc. as well as the frontend stack (it's fine to not have any frontend experience starting out).

3+ years of experience with backend engineering
-
Clean simple code, even when solving complex problems
-
Good systems design
-
Ability to learn new tech quickly

Enjoyable to work with
