Role

We're seeking a Generalist Backend Developer with a passion for the art and science of building software.

You'll be expected to deliver high-quality solutions across various tech stacks while maintaining a commitment to continuous learning and improvement.

• You're passionate about crafting high-quality, pragmatic software solutions
• You're self-driven, adaptable, and quick to learn new technologies
• You're excited to help shape both the code and the organization

You would not be a good fit if

• View software development as just a job rather than a craft
• Prefer sticking to a single tech stack or strongly identify with specific technologies

• Seek a purely managerial position without hands-on coding responsibilities

The Hiring Process:

• 30-minute cultural fit round
• Offer!
