- A plus is experience with the rest of our stack: AWS (S3, EventBridge, SQS, Lambdas, ECS, CDK), PHP, Snowflake for our data warehouse.
- Experience working with industry-wide payment facilitator services (Stripe, Paypal) and building systems for payment tracking is a plus.

- Improve operational efficiency by shipping infra that optimizes performance, reliability and efficiency.
Other
- We’re seeking great problem-solvers who enjoy collaborating with others (not just engineers) and value well-written, tested code.
- As a human, you will be collaborative, curious, enjoy solving complex problems, and have empathy for the growing pains of a rapidly scaling startup.
- Someone who both loves designing durable, extensible systems while also feeling comfortable building a first version quickly to validate then iterate.
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent and 5+ years of Software Engineering experience.
