2. Working with our product management and frontend team to build products with the goal of delighting and increasing the success of our users.
3. Architecting, building, testing, and releasing product-facing features.
4. Contributing to our side projects and free tools for the recruitment industry.

3. Experience with scalable distributed systems, both built from scratch as well as on Managed Platforms.
4. Willingness to learn and use new technologies.
5. Extremely data-driven.
