Responsibilities
Collaborate cross-functionally to understand the needs of the customer and deliver a simple and easy-to-use solution.
Work comfortably across front-end and back-end development. We use Ruby on Rails and React, but we're open to training engineers experienced with similar frameworks.
Balance technical considerations with product and business thinking. You aim for the best value, shipped quickly, not for perfection.
Work with engineers across the engineering organization to drive impact beyond just the Live product.

Required
You have 5 years experience as a full-stack product engineer. You enjoy working up and down the stack.
You are a collaborator. Whether through pair programming, a whiteboard session, or asynchronous communication, collaboration helps the best ideas and practices to proliferate.
You have strong communication skills. Each of us has only part of the overall picture in our head at a given time. Explaining ideas at an understandable level of abstraction is critical to achieving a shared vision.
You're empathetic, emotionally intelligent, and assume positive intentions. Sometimes things don't go smoothly. A customer gets frustrated, or a coworker does something that bothers you. Understanding where others are coming from, and being in control of and deliberate about how you respond to them, empowers you to solve problems while also being supportive of and sensitive to those around you.
You write clean and understandable code. We write code for each other and for our future selves. Code that is clear and tested sets us up for speed, reliability, and a more enjoyable development experience.
You know your fundamentals. Fads and frameworks come and go. We're less worried that you know the Next Hot Thing™ than that you feel comfortable with the underlying data structures, algorithms, languages, and protocols that make web applications work.
You are comfortable thinking about tradeoffs. Some decisions will always have a downside. Should we use a hosted product that will save us time now, but force us to move to a new system in a year? These are regular conversations!
You value simplicity. Making things simple and elegant is deceptively difficult, but it's worth the effort because the result is easier to understand and work with.
