We’re looking for talented people who enjoy a fast-paced environment, want to ship customer value early and often, and make an impact with groundbreaking ideas.  The right candidate for this role is a problem solver first and foremost - they should enjoy solving challenging problems, coming up with creative solutions, and guiding and instructing their counterparts and teammates about how to leverage their solutions. They bring a sense of urgency, a bias for action, and are outcome driven. 

Basic Qualifications

• 10+ years experience in software engineering

• Very experienced in building and operating SaaS products in cloud environments (AWS and python ecosystem preferred)

• Advanced knowledge of modern software development practices (devops, automated testing, observability, etc)

Our Approach to Flexible Work
 

With Flex Work, we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
