• You’ll collaborate within a small, highly productive team, reviewing code and helping other engineers with their roadblocks.
• You’ll have time to focus. We don’t micromanage, and we do our best to keep distractions (and meetings) to a minimum. 
• When assigned to on-call duty, you’ll investigate and fix bugs and respond to incidents. 
• You’ll deploy early and often. We ship to production multiple times per day.
