What You’ll Do
- Solve interesting problems with code.
- Build new features for internal and external users, and refactor existing ones to make them better.
- Work with a wide range of systems, processes, and technologies to solve problems in sustainable ways. Sometimes you'll be neck-deep in low-level systems, and other times you'll be pairing up with the front-end team on the user interface.
- Drive the architecture of our application platform, considering the team and our future product roadmap.
- Collaborate with product, design, front-end, machine learning, and infrastructure teams.
- Drive and uphold high engineering standards, bringing consistency to the codebases you encounter and ensuring software is adequately reviewed, tested, and integrated.

What You’ll Need
- Experience. You've been around the block more than a couple times, typically via 5+ years of work in this field.
- Education. Generally, a bachelor's degree is really helpful in working with our team on this kind of work, however, equivalent years of experience can substitute.
- An insatiable intellectual curiosity and the ability to learn quickly in a complex space
