SDE-1 (Backend)

Who we want

You’ve got the basics down : you can write clean code, you know your data structures, and SQL doesn’t scare you. More importantly, you’re

hungry to learn . You want to see how systems scale in the wild, and you’re ready to build features that customers actually use.

At Habit, you’ll start with well-scoped features, bug fixes, and tests, but quickly grow into someone who can own bigger pieces of the system.
