  • An intuitive grasp of product-level thinking and system thinking
  • A high bar for quality yet the agility to ship in weekly cycles
  • Strong communication skills

What you’ll love about us:

We're working hard to create a working environment where people feel empowered to do their very best work, make a significant impact, and enjoy what they do. As an early employee, you'll have a massive say in defining the engineering organization, our vision, and our culture.
