  • Mentor and collaborate : Share your expertise, guiding the team in best practices while learning from others, fostering a culture of continuous improvement

What we're looking for :

  • Entrepreneurial mindset : You’re excited about the chance to take ownership of projects, continuously improve the product, and stay deeply connected to user feedback and business outcomes
  • Experience with our stack : You’re familiar with technology relevant to our stack : React, Ruby on Rails, AWS, infrastructure-as-code and CI / CD technologies, and understand how to use it to build performing and scalable user-focused products
  • Passion for customer impact : You take pride in delivering solutions that truly meet the needs of customers, ensuring each feature enhances the user experience
  • Collaborative and proactive : You work well with others to translate ideas into actionable plans, bringing your technical skills and perspective to make smarter product decisions
  • Pragmatic problem-solving : You’re able to see the bigger picture and break it down into actionable steps that drive results, making sure that we solve the right problems in the most efficient way
  • What’s in it for you :

  • Competitive salary + Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP)
  • Home office set‑up support
  • An additional day off on your birthday
  • Enhanced parental leave for primary and secondary caregiver
  • The chance to shape our engineering culture and be part of a high performing team
