It is used by our MacOS/Windows/Web clients and speaks to an orchestration layer. The API handles everything from authentication (including third party) to very deep business logic. This role will set you up for Staff or Architect level type of impact.

We are a small but competent engineering team, and you will be expected to make a big impact and share / learn a lot.

Location

We are a 100% fully remote company (U.S. only). You are welcome to use our office in Brooklyn, New York City. We also plan to open an office in Austin, Texas, where the majority of our engineering team is located.
