We are looking for Software Engineers to join our growing Engineering team and build out the next generation of our platform. The ideal candidate is an experienced generalist with a history of working on both frontend web service technologies and API services. They must have strong, firsthand technical expertise in a variety of configuration management and web service technologies and the proven ability to fashion robust scalable solutions that can support large number of sessions with low latency. They must be at ease working in an agile environment with little supervision. This person should embody a passion for continuous improvement and test-driven development.
We are open to remote work for applicants with demonstrated experience working with distributed teams.
Do these qualities describe you?
- Curious: Your drive to be an expert does not prevent you from being interested in other aspects of the tech stack, the space (investing) or our market (consumer technology). You understand that learning outside your core discipline can translate into better results in your area of expertise.
- Values-oriented: You measure success by your ability to create value for our end users. You pride yourself in high quality work and strive to make good results repeatable.
- Results-driven: You’re comfortable with moving fast and adapting to fluid roadmaps and priorities. You aren’t afraid of failure and look for creative solutions to overcome challenges.
- Humble and collaborative: You have come to realize that the more knowledge you gain, the less you actually know, and that pushes you to continually seek knowledge from others. You are also eager to share your knowledge and insights with others.

Required:
- Excitement about data processing, frontends or communications services.
