• Background and experience with modern design processes and tools like Figma
• Experience building user friendly experiences based on design and product requirements.
• Knowledge of core CS fundamentals
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

Company Culture

We’re a single flat team that transcends engineering, research, product, and operation roles. Everyone is willing to do whatever is necessary to make our company and customers successful. We believe that a small, dedicated team with a collaborative culture can move faster and build better and more coherent products than large hierarchical organizations.
