Senior Backend Engineer

Engineers on our team today:

• Work primarily in TypeScript, and dabble in Shell as necessary
• Build APIs in Node.js
• Are extremely supportive, especially when teammates are faced with new challenges
• Are left to autonomously figure out solutions to their challenges
• Think hard about every problem and its solution from user’s perspective
• Value clear and frequent communication (we do a lot of reading and writing)
• Enjoy being a generalist and are not tied down to a specific framework or surface area of our codebase
• Are naturally curious and willing to learn something they don’t have experience in
• Feel a great sense of accountability to each other
• Have good judgement of when to ship: perfect is the enemy of good
• Have a fundamental understanding of Linux/Docker/networking
