Day to day, you'll implement new features in a collaborative Agile environment, writing maintainable, testable code and contributing to a shared commitment to long term product quality. You'll refine requirements with product owners and domain experts, build and test new functionality, fix bugs, improve performance, and contribute to our automated test suite.

office. We work within core hours, with flexibility around how you structure the rest of your day.

Attendance is also required for annual company-wide meetings.
