• A pragmatic approach to software development software that delivers real user value through maintainable, performant code

• A strong product sense and desire to deeply understand users

While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:

• Experience as a tech lead or project lead in delivering mobile first experiences that complement a web-based feature set

• Familiarity with web development languages and technologies like Typescript, React, Python, Ruby, etc
