We’re looking for a full-stack engineer and problem solver to join us.
What does this role involve?
What kind of person are we looking to join our team?
Given the scale of the impact and our centrality to it – we’re a smaller engineering team than most would guess. We won this leverage through devotion to the game of optimising each other and our code. We relish the difficulty & the stakes, and our next hire should too. As such – we tend to hire engineers with track records demonstrating obvious excellence at their craft. We’re open minded about what excellence could look like in different contexts. For example, an interesting candidate may be a top-of-the-class CS degree graduate who’s become a community thought leader. Or a self-learner, with a star-struck github project. Or an early joiner of a massively successful startup.
What's the interview process?
You should expect a rich and varied interview process – involving a bit of food, several different team members, and most importantly, a lot of collaborative hacking 😄. You can get a full sense of it here.
What's the remuneration?
Although we’re a startup, we don’t expect you to take any kind of pay cut. Above your salary, you’ll vest stock options.
TLDR
We’re on the lookout for a special someone to write beautiful code, solve hard problems, and change lives at scale.
