You care about shipping end‑to‑end products loved by users. A new feature that’s not used by anyone is wasted time. You’ll have a direct impact on user journeys. We optimize for every role to handle a full user story and to even communicate with customers. You genuinely care and take pride with a product you worked on being used many people.

That means you have to wear multiple hats — pushing product managers to share analytics before maturing an MVP further, or pushing back on features that don’t make sense to you.

E.g. When a customer reports a bug, you’ll be put in touch directly with the customer to communicate issues and own the user’s pain‑points & solution.

You want every opportunity to do 10x more. We believe in hiring people who are seeking the highest responsibility they can handle. Whether it’s to make your first $M or for fame, or for the love of building products or building businesses — you are here because the status quo is less agency and too boring. You’re here because you want to push yourself to new levels, and we’ll give you numerous opportunities to do that.

You have an owner mindset vs passive work. High ownership → High productivity + better collaboration + Pro‑active action. Low ownership → Low productivity + passive collaboration + defensibility causing drama + need followups to deliver.

• You are experienced. You have deep expertise in building, deploying, monitoring and scaling systems on cloud servers. You understand the ins and outs of NodeJS and building full‑stack applications from scratch. You can quickly take a Figma mockup into a fully functioning feature.
• You care about good systems design. You have an eye toward exponential growth and love building simple systems and APIs that can scale from a few thousand users to millions. You are practical about what you build. You know when to hack something together and throw it all behind memcached, and when to be thoughtful about data denormalization and sharding.
• You bias toward action. You like to build and ship - favoring practical choices, speed and respect for sequencing. You focus on the things that matter and push back on things that don’t. You make deadlines for yourself and you move fast.
• You’re scrappy and entrepreneurial. You thrive in fast‑paced environments and are comfortable with not knowing the answer to something. You are willing to roll up your sleeves no matter what the challenge is.
• You take pride in what you do. You care deeply about your work. You read through details and think about every bit of the user experience. If something seems off, you come up with a good solution and fix it without being asked to do so. You’re proactive with suggestions and people know they can count on you to get things done.
• You enjoy your work. You love what you do, not because you feel you have to, but because you’re so excited to create something big for the world. Your favorite thing to do is to take on a huge challenge and pull it off.
• You care about doing the right thing. You value diversity and go out of your way to ensure others feel welcome. You enjoy hanging out with your teammates, have a low‑ego, and make the workplace more fun for everyone.
