## Job description

Job Description

We are looking for engineers who are passionate about building consumer products. You have experience with metrics-driven iterative product development at a fast pace. You get excited by working on customer problems closely with our customer support and servicing teams. You care about prioritizing and measuring impact, and driving towards impact-driven goals and metrics. You have built consumer interfaces at scale. You have built consumer interfaces that work in all network conditions and gracefully degrade as the network worsens. You care about the debounce time on a typeahead, or the layout of a card on different devices. You obsess over what contrast will get you the best engagement on a specific UI element. You worry about how your current feature will interact with the existing UX.

- Building a best in class video notarization solution
- Helping us execute world-class growth & engagement tactics for our product
- Architecting core product infrastructure to enable us to go from 0-to-1
- Weighing in on strategy. Every voice is important to help inform our decisions
- Influencing our tech stack.
- Defining our culture. As a large % of the team, who you are shapes who we become.
- Become an expert in our product space, such that you're able to define how products should work end-to-end.

You should join us if

- You have led large, technically complex projects with a lot of moving parts
- You have a lot of experience with a lot of disparate systems
- You have worked on production grade compilers, operating systems, or large distributed systems
- You can jump into a new environment and hit the ground running without much hand holding
- You’re fine with us not having answers yet. You want to be part of figuring out the answers
- You thrive in highly collaborative environments and are down to riff with us on anything from company mission to software architecture to user research
- You enjoy diving into the deep end and feel like that’s where the greatest personal growth happens
- You are fearless about learning the details, and understanding every single minute detail of an underlying system or process
