About This Role
We are hiring Senior Engineers for our Consumer Product Team—engineers who are ready to go beyond coding and help shape the future of the product and company.
We’re looking for people who are not only technically strong, but who think deeply about trade‑offs, care about solving real problems, and know how to build fast without compromising stability. You’re the kind of engineer who knows when to apply best practices and when to bend them.
