• Be a partner in keeping scope focused so that we continuously deliver high value code quickly

Why We Value You

We strongly believe that the quality of talent is best measured by motivation, alignment of purpose, skills, depth of experiences, and learning agility. While your past learning and work experiences help us understand who you are, what has shaped you, and what you have been exposed to, we do not use minimum education or years of experience requirements in our job postings.

• You are a sharp, kind, and open-minded human driven by both excellence and impact
• You are a quick learner interested in SaaS software development who actively stays on top of the latest technology trends; preferably keen to do the same for the future of work (our industry)

Location: This is a hybrid position. Most days we work from home but come to the office when face to face collaboration or team building makes sense. 

Benefits: We provide a generous benefits package to all of our team members, including unlimited PTO, health care, technology reimbursement, and flexible schedules.
