About the Role

We're looking to bring on a developer we can work with long term. A degree and formal experience are a bonus, but not essential. We've worked with excellent developers who simply haven't had the chance to showcase their ability through traditional routes, so what matters most to us is a strong portfolio and the right skills.

• App architecture & data modeling: clean architecture, user accounts, data models, and build pipelines
• Recommendation / logic engine development: building rule-based logic that produces outputs from multiple data inputs
