Keen to help architect solutions and scale a SaaS product
A high bar for building quality software
Solid knowledge of SQL
Proficient with RESTful API use, implementation, and design
Knowledge of testing methodologies
Knowledge of application security
Team player mentality who enjoys collaborating with cross-functional peers

Most of our employees are fully remote, and we do not have a return-to-office plan as we are more successful working remotely. Our generous PTO and ten flexible holidays promote work-life balance.
