About You
- You're an optimist with a bias toward action. No matter the challenge, your instinct is to look for solutions - fast.
- You're a self-starter who seeks out problems and ships high-quality solutions from scratch.
- You're willing to do whatever it takes, filling gaps, picking up context fast, and wearing multiple hats as we scale.
- You care about more than clean code. You seek to deeply understand our partners' needs and the broader business context behind everything we build.
