For those with a passion for helping others on a global scale, your role here will be challenging and rewarding. Transforming how people work is a big technological and behavioral challenge. You will build complex multi-tiered applications running off distributed micro-services, handling billions of user interactions every day, generating petabytes of data that require analysis and transformation, spanned across hundreds of thousands of machines. You will build human centric experiences, that connect with how people want to work and how they want to be engaged by technology. Your features reach millions of people every day, with the opportunity to delight and improve how they work. You will implement different ways of supporting behavior change at an individual, team and company level and measure every hour that you help users save as a result. You should be comfortable dealing with ambiguity and a shifting landscape. You should be passionate about iterating fast, being data driven, learning from customers and getting the right design for our customers.
