Our founding team has three MIT engineers and over time we've recruited engineers from Facebook, Cornell, Stanford and more. But we look for and find talent everywhere, some of our best engineers didn't do CS at all. We're opinionated about good management and put a lot of time into it. Our leadership culture is centered around emotional intelligence, technical excellence and servant leadership.

Ideal Candidate: * Good at communicating, both on the technical and personal level. Great team members are skilled and a pleasure to work with. * A gamer at heart, however you define that. As long as you love playing and want to help other people play, you'll be a great fit. * Anywhere in a timezone between PST-EST. We've found that large timezone differences can be tough in a small team. You don't need to be in the US.
