Instead, you thrive on solving hard technical problems, learning from brilliant peers, and diving deep into the codebase — day in, day out. But this isn’t solo hacker mode. You’ll be part of a high-performing team, navigating real-world, fast-moving client projects. Collaboration, clear communication, and proactivity are key. We want engineers who ask great questions, learn from teammates, and know how to get what they need to do their best work.

As a Frontend Engineer, your mission will be to build a high-impact, cutting-edge product used by hundreds of thousands worldwide.
