Senior Backend Developer (Javascript/Node.js)

About this Role
We are looking for builders of the 1st order. The ones who get a rush from creating things from scratch and take pleasure in watching users try to tear it apart through sheer volume and strange, unthinkable use cases. And when it breaks, they cannot sleep without finding that pesky little condition in some forgotten corner. Let's get on the ship together?

• Exposure to Cloud Platforms like AWS (preferred)
• Unix command line experience
• Demonstrate the ability to be a self-starter and learn quickly
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
• Passion for learning and implementing new technologies
