## About the role

We hire software engineers across levels under a single posting. Title, compensation, and scope are set during the process based on demonstrated competency, so apply once and we will place you at the right level. We are currently focused on mid- to senior-level hires, with room to move in either direction for the right candidate.

## What they're looking for

- This list describes the engineer we picture, not a checklist we score against. If you meet most of it and the work sounds like yours, apply. We would rather read your application and talk it through than have you screen yourself out
- 3+ years of professional web development experience
- Strong backend development skills, with a preference for engineers who work comfortably across the stack
- Experience with Ruby, or with a similar backend language plus the ability to ramp up quickly in our stack. Our backend primarily runs on Ruby (Grape and Sequel), with a growing number of services in Node.js, and React/Next.js and TypeScript on the frontend
- Experience integrating third-party APIs, including OAuth flows, webhooks, rate limits, and idempotency
- A track record of owning services in production, with real exposure to observability, on-call rotations, and incident debugging
