We’re developers and we love to code. We code so we can speak from practical experience and join the global conversation. You’re going to be happiest on this team if you’ve lived the pain of pager duty and know the joy that comes from a beautiful green test suite. We’re storytellers. We excite, engage, and empower our peers with stories of our own triumphs and failures in building. We’re looking for compatriots with experience following their curiosity down the rabbit hole and bubbling back to the surface with treasure. We’re active members of our communities. We coordinate meetups, attend conferences, and help developers realize their collective strength. Collaborative personalities can expect to thrive here.
We value unique perspectives, and we absolutely encourage applications from candidates with backgrounds and identities that add to our spectrum of experience.
Given the nature of the work, this is a remote position. We’re a results-oriented team so our hours offer some flexibility.
