Job Overview

Our platform is designed to handle hundreds of millions of requests supporting millions of customers a day. In order to provide a smooth and rich experience for our customers, we focus on four primary attributes during our design and development:
- Scalability-our code is written to scale horizontally on nodes in multiple data centers to handle the large request volume.

- During technical discussions, no one has a title.
- We value context and responsibility over management approval and supervision.
- We value actively and humbly seeking honest feedback over preserving our egos.

- We happily teach others the things we have learned
