Working with support, marketing, business and other team members to identify product and process improvements, suggest implementation options, trade-off alternatives, and make engineering decisions
As a growing, late-stage startup, we look for self-starters who thrive in a fast-paced, agile environment - which means wearing many hats, being able to change direction quickly, and showing an eagerness to learn new technologies as the need arises.
