  • At least 2-3 years of experience in software engineering with strong computer science fundamentals
  • You've architected, built, scaled and maintained production services
  • You've designed, built and shipped modern, component-based user interfaces
  • You write high quality, well tested code to meet the needs of your users
  • You're passionate about building technology at scale and solving challenges for your customers in creative and innovative ways

NICE TO HAVES:

  • You've worked with JavaScript (ES6) and have worked with production scale React apps
  • You're on top of modern JavaScript and frontend best practices
  • You've worked with modern Python and large backend services using technologies such as Flask
