• You have experience with Typescript, Node.js, React, Next.js, and Postgres (or can ramp up quickly).
• You build for users & have a nose for understanding what would help them the most.
• You move quickly while maintaining code quality. Perfect is the enemy of good.

• Semesterly retreats and monthly regional meetups.
• Make an impact you can see.

• A 30-minute intro screen to learn more about you and understand whether this role is a mutual fit.
• A 45-minute screen where you'll read some code and brainstorm/prioritize product ideas.
• A 1-hour programming interview where you’ll fix bugs and implement features on a toy repo.
