  • Expertise in C++ is strongly preferred; experience with C, Python or Linux is a plus
  • Innovative, out-of-the-box thinking grounded in real-world pragmatism
  • Readiness to set technical direction, promote engineering principles, and do the right thing
  • Candidates must have US citizenship/Greencard or a valid H1B/TN Visa


NB: please do not apply if you're a fresh graduate.



Benefits

  • Incredible salary + profit-sharing structure
  • Truly flat structure and highly collaborative culture, within a fun, stimulating office environment
  • Direct business impact with short feedback loop
  • Outstanding benefits package
