About the role

We’re looking for exceptional engineers who can operate across teams, stacks, and problem spaces, and turn ambitious ideas into production-grade systems.

  • Strong product sense and a track record of shipping meaningful features or products

  • Strong systems design fundamentals and comfort owning production systems
