You

• You’re a passionate technologist that loves to write code, keep up with tech blogs and podcasts. You’re excited to try new things and your excitement is contagious. 

• You are hungry to make a lasting and impactful contribution to a small tech company in the heart of Silicon Beach that has sent over 5 billion text messages. 

• You love unit tests 

• You spend about 70% (or more) of your coding time on Angular

• Most of your day is spent on hands-on Engineering and coding

• You have a keen eye for software quality and put a high priority on maintaining high standards within a team by establishing good SDLC practices and leading by example. 

• You enjoy collaborating with a team of engineers and stakeholders to plan, design, and develop working software that customers value. 

• You understand the value of taking full ownership of your code from the initial phases to making sure it runs optimally in production.

• You are passionate about leading a team of Engineers and coaching them to success. You find it rewarding to mentor and pair program with junior Engineers. You are driven by your peers’ success. 

• Things aren’t always 0s or 1s--you like to provide several options to product owners/stakeholders about how to build products and features. 

• If you see things that aren’t optimal in infrastructure, technology, and processes, you are quick to point them out to keep everyone aware and informed of these potential sources of bottlenecks and tech debt. You do this without ego. 

• While monitoring your code’s performance in production, you feel bad about increasing API response times because you know it won’t translate well to the user experience. You are driven by a product-focused mindset; delivering sleek and contemporary experiences to your users is an intrinsic part of your soul. 

• You’re not afraid to peek behind the API calls your Angular code makes to see how things work in the backend. 

• You are not happy with the status quo. Ok is never good enough. You keep pushing for continuous improvements. 

• Your opinions are highly defensible and based on empirical evidence. You like to challenge yourself, the squad, and your product owner to make the best experiences for the customers.

• You’ve never worked on a product that you weren’t an avid user of.
