What do we believe in?

- Be able to make the tradeoffs between business needs and highly-stable code while shipping fast and quality work.
- Be autonomous in leading different projects and key features' development from beginning to end, working on the challenge of reaching millions of users, dealing with load issues and iterating live.
- Proactively develop, test and innovate on new architecture changes to allow for world class mobile engineering practices and faster experimentation at scale (we moved out of ReactNative so limited legacy data).

- Self starter with deep proficiency in building, improving and scaling mobile apps.
- Fluent English communication and documentation skills (our team is international).
