We’re looking for someone to join our diverse team of engineers with experience across a multitude of technologies.  We follow these principals to grow and develop, innovate for success, and create belonging:

Efficiency of code and process

All engineers are encouraged to reuse assets and recycle ideas to face new challenges. We have a DevOps culture that sees all engineers contribute to our infrastructure.  We use GitHub actions for CI/CD and define our infrastructure as code with heavy use of Terraform.

Challenge the status quo

We want to solve puzzles and problems and we can’t do that if we accept what has gone before as just the ways things are.  We love it when engineers introduce us to new technologies or open-source tooling, and who have a passion to keep our codebase and infrastructure best in class.
