+ Review and provide critical feedback on Product Requirements Documents (PRDs), Epics, and Stories written by Product Managers in JIRA.
+ Onboard new engineers to the team by sharing best practices and keeping team documentation up-to-date.
Your Impact:

+ Familiarity with technologies such as Docker and NGINX
Even better:
+ Experience with native application development and/or frameworks such as React Native
+ Experience working in the Financial Tech industry
About Us:
What makes an “Earnie” culture:
+ Drivers – Drivers are satisfied by making things happen, not coming along for the ride. They feel a strong sense of ownership for their projects and teams and demand high standards from themselves and others.
+ Humility – Humble team players check their egos and consider the team’s needs above their own. They are self-aware of their strengths and opportunities for improvement.
+ Growth Mindset – People with a growth mindset approach challenges and failures as learning opportunities. They seek feedback to improve, give feedback to others, and genuinely want to perform well.
