Benefits

• Flexible paid time off: Work isn’t your whole life. Take time off when you need it. Care for an ill child or loved one. Explore a new city, or relax at the beach.
• Paid company health care: Enjoy 100% coverage of health insurance premiums across our medical, dental, and vision plan offerings (where allowed by law).
• Hybrid & remote flexibility: We are a hybrid company with offices in San Francisco and Washington, DC. Employees near a hub city enjoy the best of both worlds, with a blend of in-office collaboration and the flexibility to work from home on designated days. For those outside these areas, remote-first options provide the freedom to work from anywhere.

• Security Minded: You treat security as a core engineering discipline. You have a strong working knowledge of defensive coding practices and the authorization models required to protect sensitive data
• Quality Obsessed: A history of writing clean, maintainable code with comprehensive testing. You take pride in your PR history and believe that “done” includes documentation and observability
• Systems Thinker: A demonstrated ability to understand and contribute to complex domain objects and data models in production environments
• High-Agency: You don’t wait for a perfectly groomed ticket. You are comfortable partnering with product managers to turn ambiguous requirements into elegant technical specs
• 3+ years of professional full-stack experience. We value deep engineering fundamentals—system design, database optimization, and clean architecture—over fluency in any specific syntax
• Ruby on Rails Proficiency: Strong knowledge of Rails conventions and an interest in (or experience with) modular monoliths
• Modern Frontend Experience: Familiarity with React and/or Next.js — we’re actively evolving our frontend stack, and if React or Next.js is in your background, we want to hear about it
• Complex Document Infrastructure: Experience with document generation (PDFs), rich text editors, or building systems to process unstructured data within secure workflows
• Regulated Industry Experience: Previous work in compliance-heavy environments such as GovTech, FinTech, or HealthTech (FedRAMP, SOC 2, or HIPAA)
• Infrastructure Curiosity: Experience with or a strong desire to learn AWS infrastructure (ECS/EKS, CloudWatch) and modern deployment pipelines
• Startup Veteran: Previous experience in a fast-growing startup ($5M–$30M ARR range) where you navigated rapid change and contributed to a scaling product
