You should also have a proven track record of designing and maintaining RESTful APIs. We are seeking an individual who is dedicated to crafting exceptional products with a strong focus on the end-user experience.
Our company is remote-first, prioritizing focused work and the effective use of developer time. The code you contribute will directly and significantly impact both our company and our valued customers.

- A rigorous approach to software quality. You like to write tests.
- A knack for learning new technologies, strong problem-solving skills, and an openness to creative solutions.
- A genuine passion for crafting reliable web applications. You get it right the first time.
- Computer Science degree or equivalent.
