Design, implement, and own user-facing features across the full stack. Collaborate with product and design, write well-tested code, build scalable single-page applications, and improve engineering culture and processes.
As a Software Engineer, you’ll help us build out our core product by developing high-impact, user-facing features. In our engineering organization, you’ll be a driver for positive change in our engineering culture, processes and technology. You will be a strong voice in product planning, drive the implementation and release of major features, and be a champion of best practices for writing well-tested, well-organized code.
You’ll become familiar with all parts of our stack. You will exercise judgment in making tradeoffs between design and feasibility. You’ll engineer your features to be scalable and resilient in a complex, single-page application. We believe that user-centric design ultimately leads to the best products, so we listen closely to our users, both external and internal. As an engineer on our close-knit, cross-functional team, you’ll be an active voice in shaping our product. We are constantly rolling out high-demand features and tackling ever greater challenges of scale. You’ll join a team where everyone — including you — is knowledgeable about development patterns and cares about the product development process.
