• Help brainstorm solutions and build robust systems to solve customer problems

• Build reliable support for product data logging and metrics

• Work closely with product, engineering, analytics, and risk teams

You have:

• BS/BA degree or equivalent practical, working experience (5+ years preferred)

• Strong programming skills

• Great communication skills and enjoy working cross-functionally

Nice to have:

• Experience with Ruby, Go, or JavaScript

• Experience contributing to medium to large scale feature releases

• Knowledge of payments or fintech

Technologies we use and teach:

• Ruby on Rails, Go, Ember.js, TypeScript and more
