- Strong programming skills in either Golang, Java, PHP, C#, C++, Ruby, Python, and Elixir.
- Experience with either React, Vue, Angular or other JavaScript Front-End framework.

- You don’t need to have experience in any of our specific technologies: we’re great at teaching good Developer's how to use our modern SaaS stack.
- We don't follow rigid Scrum or Kanban, but we do work in an agile, iterative way, and try to continuously improve and implement what works for us.
- We value letting our merchants experience what we're building as soon as possible - So we deploy a change to production on average every 7 minutes.
- Open culture and a continuous improvement mindset.
