• Interest in Platform Engineering: We want you to be eager about learning and getting stuck in.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Typescript/Python experience: These are the main languages we use.
• React experience: Helpful if you have some experience and willingness to knock out the occasional frontend task.
• Platform/DevOps Experience: Helpful if you have the skills to unblock yourself on DevOps tasks.

• Additional Perks: Your choice of laptop (Mac or Windows), regular company events to connect with teammates, and opportunities for continued professional development.

Values in Action:

• Customers, Always: Everything starts with our customers.
• Make It Happen: We move fast and take ownership.
• Learn and Invent: We stay curious.
