## OUTER'S MISSION
Outer is a venture-backed startup based in Santa Monica, California on a mission to get people outside and inspire healthier, happier, and more fulfilling lives by creating innovative outdoor furniture.
In addition to being a high growth ecommerce brand, Outer is working to revolutionize retail with its Neighborhood Showroom platform. Just like how Airbnb turns people’s homes into hotel rooms, Neighborhood Showroom (NBS) turns customer's backyard’s into retail showrooms. This allows for people interested in buying products to see/touch/feel products in a real world setting. It also allows for the showroom host to make extra cash on a per visit basis.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you are expected to step into the software stack at any level and make an impact.

- How do we enable a point of sale experience for our customers and showroom hosts
