We’re a small team, and in order for us to thrive we need members who have the drive and ability to work on a wide array of products. From working on our custom warehouse software, to developing our data pipeline, to working on the APIs that power our website and mobile app, you’ll get the chance to experience a wide variety of development scenarios. Real-time data is core to our business, and as we grow we’ll need our backend to be ready to scale with us. Ensuring every service we release is ready to scale is key to our growth strategy.
