Senior Software Engineer

We offer an unlimited holiday (PTO) allowance, trusting you to take vacation time that suits your personal life, alongside flexible working hours that empower you to work when it best fits you and your team. We provide MacBooks to all employees and additional support for fully remote workers to set up their home offices.

Our exceptional Time Away Policy includes 26 weeks of fully paid leave for birthing parents, 13 weeks for non-birthing parents, and extended leave for adoption, IVF, surrogacy, elective egg freezing, and women’s health needs such as menopause, menstruation, endometriosis, and PCOS.

Our trusting, flexible, remote-first way of working means that work can fit around your life, rather than your life fitting around work.

Why Join Us?

Your role will also involve overseeing platform monitoring and scaling, responding to alarms, and managing incidents, contributing significantly to our engineering decisions and practices.
