We want people who genuinely care about what they build, the customers who use it, and the team they work with.Ownership isn't a buzzword here. If something is broken, you fix it.

We want engineers who are constructive, collaborative, and pleasant to work with – but also capable of speaking the uncomfortable truths, challenge poor decisions, or raise concerns that others would rather ignore. We need people with the judgement to know when that moment has arrived.
