We are currently hiring Frontend, Backend, and Full Stack Engineers who will be a part of the core team and have the opportunity to make a great impact on the product and roadmap.

You'll be an essential part of building the engineering process and culture - what tech stack we use, how we test or deploy, and how we work together.

You won't have a technical manager and will work directly with the CEO - brainstorming, testing, and figuring out the best ways to achieve the company's goals.
