Don't worry if you haven't used all of these - we'll help you ramp up on our stack. What matters most is your ability to learn quickly and write quality code.

A Typical Week:

You'll spend most of your time coding - building features, fixing bugs, and improving existing code. You'll participate in daily standups, collaborate with your team on design decisions, and pair program with senior engineers who can help you grow.
