## About the role

We are looking for software engineers, preferably proficient in TypeScript. We prefer people who are comfortable in a full-stack role and have superhero strengths in building scalable backends. We play with a lot of hardware and spend a lot of time thinking about developer UX. We like written communications. We prefer to keep things simple and don't overthink first implementations. You should generally be curious, comfortable with the unknown, love experimentation, and be able to move fast.

## What they're looking for

- 4+ years of full-stack development experience with expertise in TypeScript
- Strong in SQL, particularly with PostgreSQL, including schema design, query optimization, and performance tuning
- Familiarity with SRE principles, including incident management, monitoring, and system reliability
- Experience in designing and maintaining scalable backend APIs and client libraries, with a focus on performance, reliability, and developer experience
- You maintain a healthy balance between perfectionism and actually getting stuff done
