### **What will you do at Rainbow?**
* **You 'll own the backend architecture of our app.** How do we keep a record of all changes and all data fields that go into insurance rate calculations? What’s the API between the frontend and backend look like? You will work closely with engineering, and product to understand the use cases and iterate on the backend.
* **You 'll ship frequently as we iterate on the product.** There's a lot of stuff we need to build! We're also probably not going to get features right the first time, so we're going to need to iterate quickly.
* **You 'll delete and refactor a lot of code.** It’s important to write code and ship, but it’s also important to remove code and make the codebase easier to work on. At Rainbow, we care about making sure the codebase is well structured and as simple as possible so we can stay motivated and not feel drained after a day’s worth of work.
* **You 'll set the tone for backend at Rainbow.** As an early engineer at Rainbow, we will be looking to you to help realize our vision when it comes to the backend. You'll get to have a lot of say in engineering practices and how the backend is architected.
### **About you**
* **You 're a hacker.** You have substantial experience building nontrivial applications. You're passionate about the craft of engineering and want to be on a team where people feel the same. We do not require a college degree.
* **You 're comfortable sharing drafts, getting feedback, and iterating.** You have experience working closely with others and changing course based on feedback.
* **You’re scrappy.** You know what it takes to ship high-quality production software, but you’re also happy taking judicious shortcuts and even deliberately incurring tech debt to get the job done.
* **You know your way around building Backends.** You have 2+ years of shipping backend code that other people use.
