Profile
- In your spare time you: code, tinker, read, explore, break things, and have an insatiable curiosity for all things computer-related — you'll find like-minded people here
- You are capable of working both independently, as well as part of a team and can analyze and fix problems quickly
- You can look at code, figure out how it works, and identify how to make it better
- You can describe software designs at a high level (the abstract interface), low level (step-by-step algorithm), and anywhere in between
- You really like to work with people who push you to be better at what you do
Annual base salary range of $175,000 to $250,000. Pay (base and bonus) may vary depending on job-related skills and experience. A sign-on and discretionary performance bonus will be provided as part of the total compensation package, in addition to company-paid medical and/or other benefits.
