Senior Backend Engineer (Remote)

We’re trying to build the next best dating app in the world and we’re very close.

Looking for a Senior backend (NodeJS) core team hire.

Somebody who feels a calling towards building something great.

Somebody who believes that they are an A – player

Somebody who wants to build great products that millions of users will love – rather than designing corporate dashboards

Experience is a plus, but not key – At Stroll, I believe the most important thing is rate of growth, rather than current technical capability.

Only those who truly seek and fit one of an early stage startup will be considered.
