- Feel at home with AWS, Postgres, and Node.js
- Bring your authentic self to work, and engage in candid + respectful feedback
- Build sustainably, and are capable of managing your time and priorities as best suits your needs
- Enjoy the journey as much as the destination, but never lose sight of the destination

We use React for front-end, and AWS for our infrastructure needs. We use Snowflake as our data warehouse
