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
