What You’ll Do

- Work cross functionally with the founders, and directly with customers, to design, implement, and deliver the best experiences!

What We’re Looking For
- Keen problem solving skills: you are able to cut down ambiguous problems down to first principles and deliver a working solution.
- Strong programming/full-stack foundation: You’re comfortable working on both backend code as well as frontend React code.
- Experience working directly on user-facing products: you are able to figure out and understand what the user needs, including talking to customers
- Stellar cross-functional communication skills: you are able to adapt to our ways of working and be an efficient/effective communicator.
