We offer an environment that is:

• an awesome place for you to grow and learn.
• open-minded and inclusive
• up to date with our technology because we believe the best work gets made when we evolve our skills together.
• large enough so you get an amazing variety of work but small enough so we stay flexible and work with smaller brands and startups too—we even have a few products of our own.

What our interview process looks like:

1. We’ll schedule an initial phone interview so we can get to know you, answer any questions you may have, and see if we might be a good fit for you and vice versa.
2. From there, we’d want to bring you in for an onsite interview and would email you details about a general architectural problem beforehand.
3. At the onsite interview, we’re looking to understand your thinking process—not your knowledge of algorithms. That’s why we won’t be asking you to do whiteboard problems, but instead, we’ll ask you to explain your high-level approach to the architectural problem we shared, articulating it to both an experienced and junior dev.
