• Expertise in Java/Scala and experience building key customer-facing interfaces.

• A proven track record of leading high performing engineering teams and achieving remarkable results.

​Our Culture:

• We don't care where you work from, as long as you are highly productive and collaborative. #NoPolitics #NoBureaucracy

• We prize a growth mindset and continuous learning. If you think you've stopped learning, you will not thrive here.

• We value outcomes and impact, not hours worked or adherence to arbitrary schedules. Do what it takes to achieve your key results, and take the time you need to recharge.

• We trust teams and give them full autonomy and accountability. They are passionate professionals, not cogs in a machine.

• Transparency builds trust and empowers teams to make the best decisions. Share everything.

• Failure is learning. We create a safe environment where risk-taking is encouraged and mistakes are tolerated.

• Teams over individuals. We promote a collaborative culture where silos are broken down and groups work together with a shared purpose. Solving hard problems requires partnership.
