• Interest in tackling large technical projects & problems, learning deeply about new technologies, and sharing skills & knowledge with other engineers

Benefits include:

• Collaboration with experienced Engineering, Product, and Design teammates

• Competitive compensation including bonus, health/dental insurance, and 401k matching
• Monthly cell phone stipend
• Vacation strongly encouraged with a flexible PTO policy
• Flexibility to work from home for those days when life needs you elsewhere
• Continued education at lunch-and-learns and talks for professional development
