• Systems thinking: you design end-to-end systems with value placed on simplicity.
• Speed: you generate ideas quickly and decide what can ship now versus what needs more time.

• Collaboration:
  
  you can inspire, negotiate with, and align with designers, marketers, and PMs.
• Preferred Tech Stack:
  Kotlin Multiplatform (Java experience acceptable but the role focuses on Kotlin Multiplatform);

• A fast-growing environment where you can shape the company and product.
• An entrepreneurial-minded team that supports risk, intuition, and hustle.
• A hands-off management approach to help you focus and do your best work.
• Opportunity to make a big impact in a transformative industry.
• Competitive salaries, a friendly atmosphere, and a commitment to building a great asynchronous culture.
• Opportunity to work on a life-changing product used by millions of people.
