We are looking for a high-functioning psychopath to help bring the next wave of hybrid web2/3 applications.

You will be joining a team of top-tier self-selected sado-masochists, who work here because they can’t really work anywhere else. We value rapid communication and direct feedback, both internal and external. Breakneck pace shipping, autonomy and ownership, and constant experimentation are table stakes. Apologies in advance.

What Sparks Your Enthusiasm

• That point of a futile debugging session where you start to question your sanity and everything becomes hilarious

• A constant feeling like your spinal column has been struck by lightning

• CSS Frameworks (Tailwind, MUI, etc.)
