The Role

We are looking for a passionate engineer leader

Your passion is important to us. As a startup that is backed by investors who helped build LinkedIn, AirBnB, WhatsApp, and Stripe, we believe that sharing common passion is the only way to assemble an A-level team and to be able to reach our ambitions.

You will work directly with our CTO and Product Managers to design solutions that potentially impact millions of customers.

Additional characteristics we expect our entire team to demonstrate 

  • Always find a way
