Position on remote work:

Our team is 100% remote. We are friendly to both early birds and night owls and genuinely care much more about the quality of the work you do than the time of day you do it.

  • Experience using multiple programming languages, libraries, frameworks, and tools
  • Experience writing maintainable, automated tests
  • Experience using Git version control system
  • Experience having the primary responsibility to deliver large product features

What the successful job applicant will be working on:

  • Prioritizing code readability over eloquence or performance
  • Being passionate about learning
  • Exercising discipline by writing tests, creating small Pull Reviews, avoiding leaky abstractions, and cleaning up after yourself
  • Making good choices on your own
  • Helping our team improve in a kind, humble, flexible way
  • Taking responsibility for delivering large changes in an efficient, effective way
  • Collaborating with team members in all parts of the company to create the best solutions possible
  • Making wise decisions about what existing tools to leverage if any

About the interview process

  1. Introduction - This brief phone call gives us an opportunity to get to know you and explain the role you are applying for.
  2. Initial Interview - You will have a chance to get to know team members across the company and ensure we align with mindsets and values.
  3. Performance Demonstration - You will complete a skill-based task (no more than 90 minutes) related to the role (for example, creating cold outreach emails for a sales role or teaming up on a coding task for developers).
  4. Final Interview - You will meet with the CEO, department head, and hiring manager and will have a chance to ask any remaining questions._
