Today, our small but mighty team is distributed across North America and Europe. What unites us is relentless focus, fast execution, and our passion for software craftsmanship. We are all makers at heart and care deeply about the quality of our work. As a small team, we’re all generalists and are constantly picking up new challenges.

  • Scale our service via architectural changes as well as infrastructure improvements
  • Open-source any non-trivial innovations that come out of our work on the product
  • Redefine best-in-class software development processes so that we can build a purpose-built product

Requirements:

  • Strong JavaScript fundamentals
  • Experience building scalable infrastructure and backend solutions
  • Experience with TypeScript
  • Experience building scalable systems
What we offer:
  • Interesting and challenging work
  • Work-life balance
  • Competitive salary and equity
