Developer Advocate

At Gadget, we’re changing the game for app developers, building a platform to let anyone build and deploy secure and scalable apps 50x faster (read : seriously fast). To do this, we ignore conventional wisdom, break assumptions, and come up with thoughtful abstractions that rid developers of endless busywork.

To fulfill our mission, we need to build an environment where we can do amazing work together. We’ve got products to build, decisions to make, experiments to run, and fun to have. If this sounds right to you, join us!

Default to action! Resist the urge to overthink and overplan. Plunge into the work headfirst, and figure out the details as you go.

Improve relentlessly

Strive to be a better version of yourself, personally and professionally, each and every day.

Do things, tell people

Don’t just do the work, share it! Great products and companies are built on shared context. Keep everyone informed so that they can make better decisions.

Lead with optimism

Optimism is key when venturing into the unknown with the aim of building things the world hasn’t seen before. Yes we have. Yes we can. Yes we will.

Prioritize the customer

Put the customer’s needs at the heart of every decision you make.

Be highly engaged and put care into all of your work..

“Opportunities to work with a stacked talented team on such an ambitious vision doesn't come around often. The challenge of building something this unique and game-changing is exhilarating.”

Matin, Designer
