Staff Backend Engineer

Staff Engineer Opportunity

Why are we hiring Staff Engineers:

• We are building a very flat engineering organization - we'd like the leaders who set the technical direction of the company to be writing code.
• To do this, we must hire well-rounded, experienced engineers who have succeeded within other similar organizations.
• While our team may grow over time, we'd like to hire folks who make problems simpler and pull others with them.
• We're looking to make sure the scope of the problem space affords every individual ownership over a whole problem or strategy - we will only hire as the problem merits more owners.
