We're looking for someone to join a team dedicated to building performant APIs and backend services that deal with large volumes of data for the company's flagship, global consumer product.

3. We're a remote engineering team. This makes effective communication extremely important. Our teams have benefitted greatly from good written communication. This includes everything from the product specification to the API spec. We spend a lot of time writing READMEs. As a result our engineers work with greater clarity and planning.
4. We deploy several times a day and rely on a good test suite to ensure we're not making life hard for our colleagues.
5. We don't expect anyone to know everything, but we are curious and learn along the way.
