Sounds exciting! How do you ensure your team maintains a balance between working on new features and maintaining existing code?

That's an excellent question. We hold regular code reviews, and we make sure that new features don't compromise the robustness of our existing infrastructure. We also allocate dedicated time for refactoring and optimizing our codebase.

Do you have any geographical constraints for this position? Are you open to remote engineers?

We are based in San Francisco, so we prefer candidates who can work in our office. However, we're open to remote work for the right candidate, as long as they can overlap a few hours with our PST-based work schedule.
