Junior Full Stack Software Developer

We're looking for a talented full stack software developer to join our engineering team in Austin, Texas. You'll work on a small, highly experienced team building an exciting product in a growing, worldwide market. On a team this size, you'll own real features end to end and see your contributions ship to a global audience quickly-the kind of scope and impact that's hard to find at a larger company. We're looking for someone early in their career who is sharp, genuinely curious, and works hard.

We meet up one day each week in South Austin and work remotely the rest of the time. Our contract hours are 9am-5pm CST. We're serious about quality web engineering, but we keep the environment relaxed and flexible. We take an outcomes-based view of success and stay open about how we get there.
