Our ideal candidate

• 5+ years of software development experience (e.g. Software Engineer).

• Experience with cloud services. We use Amazon Web Services for all our infrastructure and service needs so relevant experience with AWS is a bonus, but experience with any of the major cloud providers is welcome.
• Good software development skills. Experience with any high-level programming language is a must. Most of our applications are built with React, JavaScript, Kotlin (Android), and Objective-C (IOS) so you would be expected to become productive in those languages.
