## What they're looking for

- You want to solve problems end-to-end: every engineer owns a part of the product and needs to make decisions across the frontend, infrastructure, backend, and UX
- You have a high bar for quality: At a startup, speed is the only advantage we have over big-tech companies. But even more important is to care about your output and obsess about details
- You are a clear thinker and communicator: We have daily standups and weekly syncs in which we expect you to communicate tradeoffs, problems, and blockers directly
- You are highly technical: preferred you have prior experience shipping production software by real users as a software engineer at a tech company or startup. But hustlers are always appreciated
