We seek to continue our diversity journey and we actively encourage everyone (yes, you!) to consider becoming a part of the team. Our 29 person engineering team is presently: 38% women, 31% POC, 14% LGBT+, and 38% neurodiverse. 79% of our team falls into at least one of these categories. We want to be a place everyone can belong and thrive.
