About the role
Here, your work directly impacts millions of families. Our team of scientists, engineers, and parents is small but mighty - we share a mission to make early childhood easier, healthier, and more connected. If you want to work on technology that genuinely matters, join us.
What they're looking for
- Professional Experience: 5+ years of backend software development with strong coding skills and solid experience in software design and architecture
- Proven Autonomy: Demonstrated success working with significant independence - ideally in a distributed team with limited timezone overlap with your manager or peers
- Written Communication: Excellent asynchronous communication. You write clearly enough that decisions and context survive without a meeting
- Product Mindset: Comfort with ambiguity and with shipping to learn. You care about the outcome metric, not only the ticket
- High-Scale Systems: Experience with critical production systems and techniques like load balancing, caching, and distributed systems
- Web Services: Proficiency designing and maintaining APIs consumed by mobile clients (REST, gRPC, WebSocket)

You'll also be the first R&D engineer based at our US site, hybrid, with your manager and the rest of the team in a different time zone - so you'll need to hold context, make decisions, unblock yourself, and know when a question is worth raising rather than waiting on...
