You have experience with databases, cloud infrastructure, and building web app backends
You take ownership of your work and carefully think through and document the code you write before you submit it for review. People should be able to understand your code without asking you, but if they do ask about any part of your code you should have clear and logical answers
You understand that the customers and users come first, and always think about how the existing app could be improved for them as well as potential new features
You work alongside all relevant members of the company and external stakeholders, not just engineering, to understand and resolve issues as well as orient yourself in the right direction

Responsibilities
You will work closely with the Product team to ship new features that our customers will use and with the Engineering team to come up with elegant improvements to existing features
As an early-stage startup, we as a team go through the whole product development lifecycle. You will be a part of brainstorming features, designing prototypes, developing and testing the product, and deploying code into production
To accomplish our goals, we will need to create services and tools for ourselves. You will work on building packages/libraries, publishing APIs, writing documentation, and internal dev tools
There’s a lot of infrastructures that needs to be built and improved over time, so you will be a part of the team that makes strategic, a long-term technology and product decisions
