Bonus Points If You: ✅ Have experience with event-driven architectures and high-throughput systems. ✅ Have built and maintained large-scale distributed systems. ✅ Think in terms of trade-offs and not just "best practices." ✅ Prior experience of working in a early stage startup 👯 What we look for in our team members? While there is no stencil for the type of people we like, there are a few traits that might make Reo.Dev a better fit for you. Reo might be a good fit if you…
- work hard and want to grow really fast
- care about your work a great deal… find it highly unsettling if the quality of work is even slightly sub-par
- execute fast
- are hands on (we will not have elaborate reporting structures for the foreseeable future and hopefully ever)
- are someone people like to work with… low on ego, high on humility
- have the ability to fail, learn and keep trying till you win… start-ups are tough and we will not get everything right the first time
- have a longish view of your career growth and not optimizing for the next 1-2 years
