Bonus points:

  • Hands-on experience with databases (SQL and/or NoSQL)

  • You know your way around AWS or Google Cloud

Perks and benefits:

  • Generous equity package
  • Competitive salary and benefits
  • 401(k) retirement account
  • The best equipment and tools, like a spec'd out MacBook, and dev prod tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and Linear to help you move fast
