Mentor other engineers to help solve some of the hardest technical problems: out there in very complex domains and at a large scale
Help scale one of the largest Ruby/Rails and Javascript/React applications in the world
Collaborate with our Product Management, Data, Design, and Platform: Engineering teams to understand customer pain points, come up with solutions, and then prototype, iterate, and launch daily

Successful applicants typically have 8+ years of software development experience
What they're looking for
- PEO Expertise (Preferred): 3+ years of experience with PEO, with direct experience building PEO flows in a high-growth environment.
- Experience owning multi-quarter projects that solve complex engineering: problems and make measurable customer impact at scale
- Experience driving large, cross-functional projects end-to-end through: ambiguity — scoping, sequencing, and unblocking without needing the problem pre-broken-down; aligning multiple stakeholders and working with multiple teams
