Values

We are a highly collaborative organization. We believe in the magic of working in-person and that we can go farther together. Simultaneously, we view each member of the team as a leader. We've seen how people thrive when they become directly responsible for a project or idea. We're building a team where collaboration, autonomy and accountability co-exist.

We speak honestly and kindly. The success of a close-knit team is dependent on empathetic communication. We try to listen as much as we speak. We find ways to value and respect the other cooks in the kitchen.

We let curiosity drive. There's a lot we can't predict about the current evolution of computers and AI. In this rapidly evolving landscape, we can only stay true to our vision by maintaining our curiosity. By constantly asking why . And even moreso, by asking why not . We use questions to drive alignment and decision-making. We use why to inform what to build.

The Role

We're looking for an engineer who will play a core role in shaping our product. You will be directly responsible for building new, user-facing software. You'll make make important tradeoffs between ambition and feasibility. And you'll run a tight loop between building ->

testing ->

feedback ->

iteration.

Every day you will...

• build unprecedented software. You'll use your experience and your enthusiasm to turn big ideas into concrete plans. Sometimes this means you'll have to start running before you can see the finish line. But your ability to learn matters more than your existing knowledge.
• take radical ownership for your projects. You will be directly responsible for the success of your systems and features. You'll do what it takes to get a project done. You're always looking to incorporate feedback and improve quality. We trust you with big responsibilities.
• think big and small. You know that the user will assume every choice is intentional, so you focus on getting the details right. You never stop thinking about how your decisions impact the user experience. You delight in making magical, seamless experiences.
• write it all down. In addition to writing code, you'll also create overall plans for your projects. You'll structure and prioritize your work efficiently, then communicate and document your plans and tasks. And as the needs of a project inevitably change, you modify strategically and keep plans up-to-date.
