We are passionate and highly effective people who believe that embracing unique perspectives is key to our success. We ship fast, with just enough processes to keep us coordinated.

Although we are fast-paced, we don't look down on quality, both in terms of code and personal life. We are seeking empowered individuals who work collaboratively with their peers on interesting problems, and get those solutions into the hands of customers quickly. We value diversity, attracting the best people in the world to serve as colleagues. Our flexibility and freedom to work from anywhere in the world enables you to craft a work environment in which you can do your best work.

For us, the customer's growth defines our growth.

We are consistently working to reduce the time customers get product value, provide solutions aligned with their stage and set them up for success.

To achieve that, we touch on different areas of the applications: auth, notifications, internal tooling, and payments.
