- Build cloud functions, lightweight backend services, and tasks using Kotlin.
What We Look For
- Strong systems thinker who values simple, effective design and understands how to optimize complex systems.
- Ability to move quickly, generating ideas and knowing which ones to act on immediately versus those needing more development.
- Focus and discipline to thrive in a growing startup, with good judgment about when to collaborate and when to work independently.
