  • Build and/or have shipped prototypes on top of our API platform, and have spent a meaningful amount of time developing expertise and product intuition in the space.
  • You prefer short projects where you can go deep and chase a problem down vs. building long-term solutions over many months. You enjoy seeing multiple use cases, understanding the broad landscape, all while going deep on specific issues.
  • You enjoy tinkering and experimenting. You enjoy novelty.
