Daily standup on Google Meet, everything else async on Slack. Remote within the US. The team meets in San Diego once a quarter, travel covered. Flexible hours with a daily team call in the morning. Good written English matters here, since most updates are written.

YOUR PROJECTS:

• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.

• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
