We’re building out the products and infrastructure that powers our business. Our stack is largely Elixir on the backend, so if you have Elixir or Erlang experience it would be a huge plus.

Independently execute on your deliverables with accountability, proactively identifying and escalating blockers
Learn from and guide your fellow engineers in your areas of expertise, while in turn learning from them in theirs
Your Expertise

You have previous experience building and deploying applications on AWS (preferred), GCP, or Azure, and are familiar with the services that one or more of these platforms offer
You have experience designing and/or implementing REST APIs
You have a passion for writing concise, performant, and extensible code to create reliable and scalable products
You write tests, and have experience with continuous integration and deployment tools
You have experience profiling and optimizing the performance of the code you write
You have experience working on a globally distributed team as part of a remote workforce, or you have a desire to work in a globally distributed, remote environment
You value collaboration, both for yourself and your peers, and are thoughtful in your communication when sharing ideas or opinions
You're able to build relationships across departments and operate semi-autonomously, unblocking yourself and peers when needed
Your Perks:
We benefit from the great work our employees do each day. That is why we are committed to providing a variety of awesome benefits to help them live their best lives.
Competitive salary because we value your experience and expertise
Unlimited vacation / sick days because everyone deserves time for R&R
Employer contribution towards health coverage (including vision & dental) because your physical health and well-being is important to us
Various fringe benefits such as 401k, Parental Leave, FSA/HSA, and Employee Assistance Programs because health coverage is more than just choosing your yearly plan
Flexible work environment because we are a geographically dispersed team and we believe in balance
Pet insurance because all of your beloved family members should have coverage too
Weekly lunch stipend because there is such a thing as a free lunch!
A close-knit team of enthusiastic, collegial and driven people to work alongside in a highly meritocratic environment because teamwork makes the dreamwork
