Our team’s core mission is to enable developers to do what they do best — build powerful applications. We believe they should be able to do this without having to think or worry about infrastructure, scaling, or performance.

Developer experience plays a critical role in the success of developers using our platform, so it is our team’s goal to make authoring and testing on our platform easy to understand, accessible, and fun! If this excites you, come join our team of talented engineers that enables developers all around the world to build low-latency planet-scale applications for the Internet and the Web!
