You may be working on architecting the money disbursement flow or creating most- friendly interface for consumer payment. All our engineers identify as generalist and building products that are useful and delightful are core to our engineering culture.
You're more than a coder. You wil be part of entire product process, from conceptualizing till post- launch evaluation. You should have deep empathy for the users to minimize the gap between what we build and what they need. Have sound judgement to balance between code writing speed and it's maintainability. Knowledge of variety of server- side/ frontend frameworks is desirable but not compulsory
