Job Details

What you’ll do as a Senior Software Engineer

  • You will be developing systems and APIs that power a rich set of applications used by a large and passionate group of users every day. 

  • Care about agility as much as you care about scalability. We roll out products very quickly and are looking for a team that can pivot at a moment’s notice.

Don’t worry, we’ll guide you through the process if this is relevant to your role.
