 What it’s like to work here




 
You’ll have opportunities to work on the entire stack, from databases to user interfaces and everything in between, in a wide variety of product areas.
 
You’ll own the delivery of high-impact projects that affect real customers, from start to finish, with no bureaucracy, following the Shape Up method. 
 
You’ll collaborate within a small, highly productive team, reviewing code and helping other engineers with their roadblocks.
 
You’ll have time to focus. We don’t micromanage, and we do our best to keep distractions (and meetings) to a minimum. 
 
When assigned to on-call duty, you’ll investigate and fix bugs and respond to incidents. 
 
You’ll deploy early and often. We ship to production multiple times per day.
