Requirements

  • Deep understanding of software design, product and business considerations that go into delivering great public APIs.
  • Strong experience with modern technology stacks (learning on the job is perfectly fine).
  • Relentless resourcefulness, ownership mindset, and a proven record of single-handedly taking ideas from conception to life.
  • Passion for the promotion of science, and experience working on B2B SaaS are a plus.

What’s in it for you?
