Bonus Points:

• If you’ve designed and built your own web projects or applications!

Benefits:

• Benefits: Generous UNLIMITED PTO (and we mean it!).
• Mandated two-week holiday shutdown at the end of the year for Christmas and New Year’s company holidays.
• Autopilot covers 99% of premiums for employee and dependent benefits (health, dental, vision).
• Top-of-the-line equipment: laptops, external monitors, standing desks, etc.
• Access to a beautiful WeWork office:
