You can work from home anywhere in the US. We have no office requirement. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

Responsibilities:

• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them

What you'll learn:

• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
