The company has built impressive systems with a small, talented team by investing in developer tooling and reusable building blocks.

Key responsibilities include designing and implementing complex features, contributing to core platform components, and making both product and technical decisions. The role offers competitive compensation ($200K-$260K), equity, and comprehensive benefits including unlimited PTO, family leave, and health insurance.
