At Abstract we develop high quality web applications that help transform the attribution, connection, and measurement of Design to increase its impact. We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer to join Abstract, in pursuit of shipping high quality software.
Join us and have an impact that’s felt and experienced by designers all over the world.

We're interested in your ability to solve technical problems, support fellow team members, and partner with teams across the organization in a pursuit of transforming the way designers work. Shipping high quality code, mentoring those around you, and communicating with peers often. Expertise in JavaScript, React, and Ruby is a requirement.

- An analytical mindset. You think critically about your work, ask questions, approach problems from different angles, and are excited to improve the product.
- The ability to make things happen even when requirements are a little fuzzy.
- A customer-centric lens. You look forward to working with them so we can identify pain points and create solutions.
- Enthusiasm to problem solve. When things inevitably break, you eagerly jump in to diagnose and fix the core issues.
