  • You will engage with your startup mindset, not only identifying problems but suggesting solutions across the board

  • You will be mentored and upskilled by highly experienced engineers, some of whom also bake us cookies from time to time.

  • You will act like an owner of Rightfoot and be able to make bold decisions in areas of ambiguity with minimal guidance from the team when necessary (but really, we’ve got your back!) 

  • You will constantly ship new things, you will make mistakes, you will learn and do it all over again.

  • You will be continuously learning new technology, tools or techniques  and advocating for and against them as necessary

  • You will f@#%ing break through walls!
