As an engineer on the web platform team you will make an impact in the real world using cutting edge technology. You will work in small, multidisciplinary teams, releasing code to people as fast as possible. Your passion and expertise in all things HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and your ability to work together with designers will bring the best experiences possible without being hindered by legacy browsers.
What you'll need
- Web Technologies. You've built side projects or professionally utilize the latest stacks and libraries such as Node.js, React, Angular, Rails, LESS, SASS, CoffeeScript, etc. You are excited by the amazing pace that the web continues to evolve. You seek new methods and tools to make great websites faster and better, both on the front-end and back-end.
- Bias towards action. You believe that speed and quality can be achieved at the same time. You've shown good judgement, shipping as fast as possible, products that are built in a responsible and sustainable way. You're willing to make mistakes along the way and make sure you learn from them.
- Ability to improve teams. You can easily lead a team to the finish line or go deep on huge tasks where the answers are not immediately obvious. You work well in fast moving teams and have no problem working with others to resolve difficult problems. You support your team as much as your team supports you.
- Sense of service. Your top priority is satisfying the rider and driver. It doesn't matter what, how, or why something has gone wrong, you'll jump in and take ownership of problems that might not even be in your team's scope to ensure the customer is always getting the best experience possible.
