Role overview

We need another Junior Software Developer who likes owning a feature from the design doc all the way to the on-call rotation. Our team is spread across 8 countries. Headquarters is in San Jose.

Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript. Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up.
