As part of our remarkably high performing, collaborative team of engineers, you will be involved in everything from product decisions to implementation details. With strong team support, significant freedom and self-direction, you will experience the wealth of interesting, challenging problems. If this sounds like you’d be interested in, we’d love to hear from you! We are going to need people that have worked on large scale systems and reputable companies, strong CS fundamentals/education, etc. They will do a test via Code Signal to start. If they pass that, then they will move onto a technical interview. They will need to be very strong in core Java and SQL. I believe they can take the test in whatever language, but it's a Java shop so they will ultimately need to work in Java and be able to pass future interviews where knowledge of Java will be assessed.
