We are designing systems that can handle increasing loads of users and data without sacrificing performance or reliability. We work in an agile, value focused environment where we don’t just produce features for customers, but solve underlying problems.

You will work together with three other brilliant engineers on extracting authentication from our monolith to an external service on our journey to a fully distributed system.
This team has a high focus on flawless, reliable user experience as well as on code quality and simplicity. 

They don't wait to find perfect solutions, but rather make bold decisions and take responsibility for them.

How we behave.

We're human. Our diversity and unique experience make us strong. We allow ourselves to be vulnerable and treat one another with grace. We take ownership. We expect one another to take initiative and trust each person to make decisions based on the best available data. We have passion, perseverance and urgency to hit our goals and work together to create the best outcomes. We think big. We innovate and challenge the status quo to maximize the value we deliver to our users. We constantly experiment with new ways to drive excellence. We're real. We are honest with ourselves and one another. We listen, speak up, and are ready to change our minds.

We are always looking to hire the absolute best talent and recognize that diversity in our experiences and backgrounds is what makes us stronger. We insist on an inclusive culture where everyone feels safe to contribute and help us innovate. We hire candidates of any race, color, ancestry, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, marital or family status, disability, or veteran status. These differences are what enable us to work towards the future we envision for ourselves, our product, our customers, and our world.
