  • Have at least 4 years of experience as a professional software engineer building scalable applications
  • Have at least 2 years of professional experience with Ruby on Rails
  • Have experience building scalable applications
  • Consider yourself a backend engineer, but have some experience working in the frontend and are happy to dabble in it (80:20 backend:frontend split; bonus points if you have experience with React)
  • Have a strong desire to work in a startup (bonus points if you have worked in one before)
  • Can communicate clearly in both English and in code

You will:

  • Work with autonomy on large projects critical to our roadmap, executing toward simple, effective solutions

  • Generous employee stock options with an attractive strike price
  • Unlimited vacation
  • Unique culture: Humans first, unicorn dreams second
  • Healthcare & co-working allowance
  • Leadership impact in the product and business as one of the first 20 employees vs. cog in the machine
