• Test accuracy, performance and scalability to deploy robust systems for global user groups
• Incorporate user centricity in the product, meet directly with users to collect requirements and feedback to continuously improve and optimize the user experience

• Organized: when things seem to get overwhelming for most people, you have the demonstrated ability to put things in perspective, prioritize your own workload, and deliver results.
• Evolutionary: you believe in equipping yourself with data and tools to constantly measure and improve. You are comfortable architecting changes on the order of days to months in the future, both in technical processes and in your personal growth.

Our culture: is about being rigorous at work and celebrating our big and small wins as a team. At MOLTEN, you will have the opportunity to own and lead your own workstreams, learn from exceptional individuals on the team, and help build technology that matters across the world. From day one, every developer is given the power, support, and trust to deploy production code.
