You’ll be joining a small, but mighty remote engineering team based in the US and in Europe. We have a flat structure and do continuous deployment where each engineer deploys their own work to production at any time and is responsible for what they deploy.

• 6+ years of full stack experience on production web apps using web frameworks (Django, Rails, etc.)
• 4+ years experience using Python and Django
• Scaled software to support 10,000s daily active users and a database with 10s of millions of records.
• Experience using React (in the past 2-3 years), bonus points if you have experience with Typescript.

• Hands-on dev ops experience at an early or medium stage startup, bonus points if you have experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and GCP.
• Ability to balance focusing on output and meeting business needs with maintaining code quality.
