What you'll be doing
- You’ll work closely with Product Managers, Designers, and other leaders to ensure your team has clear goals and direction.

- You will participate in team meetings as necessary (business and technical). We place great emphasis on NOT conducting ineffective, unnecessary meetings and are an advocate for focus times.

- Work remotely (within the United States, Canada or Mexico), or at our Birmingham, AL HQ. Over 80% of our Engineering Team works remotely (including our CTO), and we have promoted a strong remote working culture since the beginning (2012).
- We place great emphasis on work/life balance. We have families and hobbies and know you do, too.
