About You

• First and foremost, you love writing software. Your code is comprehensible, well-structured, highly performant; your best days at work are in front of the computer cranking out code on your own, although you have the experience to know that a winning product requires an entire team.
• You are curious and passionate about knowing “why”, whether it is why a use case is important for a customer, or why something strange happens one time in a hundred tries.
• You love both learning and teaching. In this role, you will be interfacing with design, front-end, back-end, platforms, analytics, as well as our PM and marketing teams; towards that end, you enjoy working across teams to solve hard problems.
• Agile development is second nature. Not only will you be expected to participate in daily scrums, sprint planning, and retros; you'll be expected to help improve our ceremonies.
• You strive for quality, and are obsessed with unit tests, automation, and squashing any bugs that sneak through. But it's more than that, you are expected to challenge the status quo and figure out how to make it better for everyone.
