The team is led by the company’s Head of Engineering, and you’ll collaborate with other engineers, product managers, and designers.

    • Loves to learn, whether they’ve been in the industry for 1 year or 15.
    • Gets jazzed about owning projects from end-to-end. We’re a small team, so you’ll be responsible for as much as you want to take on.
