The Expertise We're Looking For

You have a passion for technology and can navigate your way across complex and rapidly-changing landscapes by staying on top of the latest trends and thrive by sharing knowledge.
Are a creator, a doer, and a game-changer who will help us solve real-life problems and meet real customer needs. You'll be helping us build things, taking an idea, and creating rapid prototypes that are shippable and learn from real-life feedback.
Are comfortable to be a self-starter, who actively challenges status-quo, is curious and not afraid to ask "Why" and "What if"?
Are experienced with the tools of the trade including a variety of modern programming languages and frameworks
Care about cycle time and use CI/CD practices, tools to rapidly deploy changes to customers while minimizing risk using practices like A/B tests, blue-green deployments, and feature toggles
Stay on top of Algorithms, Data Structures and Design Patterns and love the challenge of building highly scalable systems that can support thousands of transactions/sec.
Have a mindset of test first development and are experienced in modern test frameworks. We believe in testing and that quality is everyone's job.
Are data-driven and can measure, collect and use data to make decisions. We understand the value of intuition and the need to balance decisions accordingly.
Have strong communication skills and technical expertise to drive and participate in meaningful discussions.
