  • Experience with software engineering best practices (e.g. unit testing, code reviews, design documentation);
  • Experience with performance and optimisation problems, particularly at large scale, and a demonstrated ability to both diagnose and prevent these problems;
  • Ability to work cross-teams and improve cross-functional relationships which will facilitate ongoing projects;
  • Eagerness to make contributions to improve the engineering team. For example, activities like interviewing, or mentoring;
  • Mentor and grow junior engineers;
  • Ability to give on-point and actionable feedback to peers;
  • Effective communication skills: regularly achieve consensus with peers and clear status updates;
  • Collaborate across the company to define, design, build and improve our product;
  • Proficiency in the English language, both written and verbal, is required for success in a remote and largely asynchronous work environment;
Bonus points for:
  • Having full-stack experience;
  • Experience with data warehouse and analytics systems

  • 4,000 per year contribution to use for training, workshops, and conferences
  • 2,000 per year contribution for any equipment or services to improve and/or maintain your physical and mental health
