We are looking for a hands-on, product-oriented engineering leader with a “find a way or make a way” attitude excited for our fast-paced environment and remote but highly-collaborative culture.

This opportunity is for someone excited for autonomy, ownership, and breadth of responsibility.

We are a brand new, VC-backed company built for speed:

• Small team, fast-paced, we all get a lot done by everyone wearing many hats.

• We are serious about optimizing our time and staying focused on the most important goals and outcomes.

• We have remote team members and are completely on board with 100% remote work.

• We coordinate using a kanban board, hold a daily standup, and mostly communicate via ad hoc video calls and Slack.

• Our software uses modern technologies, such as NodeJS and React, and it lives on the Google Cloud Platform.

Build something challenging

This isn't just another CRUD application. Your challenge will be to deliver a highly-available service on top of a dynamic collection of third-party data sources whose priority is anything other than making your job easy. Explore the limits of your own resourcefulness by designing human and automated systems that deliver true reliability in an otherwise unpredictable environment.
