Staying up to speed on latest technologies (software and infrastructure/DevOps).
Contribute to conversations around scaling and growing our services. A lot of what we do is new or novel in some way and as a result undocumented or unknown, you are expected to want to explore those things. Document them after.
Work in collaboration with UX engineers and product managers to implement platform requirements.
Write robust, scalable, well-designed software that is easy to maintain and well tested
Push and refine our proprietary technologies, platforms, and creative practices

Preferred qualifications:

Entrepreneurial spirit and team oriented
