You’ll join a small team building a product already moving serious volume, with direct ownership from day one. If you want a comfortable corporate job, this probably isn’t it. If you want to build, ship, own, and get rewarded for being exceptional, we should talk.

You’ll take ambiguous problems, make good decisions, and ship fast. Who we want We care less about where you worked and more about what you can build.
