We have an experienced team that is looking to add remote developers seeking technical challenge and empowerment to make decisions that really move the business forward.
We’re small enough that you can own something and have a direct impact, but big enough that you don’t have to do it alone. We care deeply about quality and doing the right thing, but have a strong focus on business value and time to market – and believe that focusing on the first part enables the second. Developers have technical management (who are technical and write code), as well as direct access to business, product, and operations (and they have access to us). Lastly, you will have lots of empowerment and freedom of action (but we don’t water down our responsibilities or expectations)
