Senior Software Engineer - Backend

Here’s a crazy idea: build a voice and text chat app people actually care about with a remarkable, creative, hilarious (read: insane) team.

Do you get excited about working on a distributed system with millions of concurrent users?

How about writing and deploying code to it without any downtime?

What about keeping API latency under 15ms?

How about making sure the system handles failure and heals itself so the team can sleep at night?

If these are the kinds of problems that interest you, then we would love to chat.
