• A collaborative environment with a tight feedback loop between the work you do and the impact it has on users

• Mentoring engineers across Stytch — you have a passion for helping engineers grow and learn and are excited to help grow the future engineering leaders of the company

• Designing for the future, and building for the present — you have a vision for the systems you work on, but know how to build incremental milestones, and when to make trade-offs between completeness and utility to get to value fast

• Technical — build new, highly reliable services that our customers can depend on in their critical path. Improve our existing systems to be both delightful and safe to build on for Stytch developers, as well as performant, reliable, and secure for our customers
