The team is built on a foundation of craftsmanship and high standards. They're not looking for engineers who just complete tickets - they're looking for people who care deeply about what they build, love solving hard problems, and raise the bar with every feature they ship. If building systems that truly matter and doing it exceptionally well sounds exciting, this is the right place.
