  • The company is a US startup with a fast-paced, product-driven culture, and English is the working language, easing the transition for international hires.
  • Open roles span core product engineering, iOS, Windows/Desktop, and data infrastructure, indicating a broad technical stack.
  • The company's product is consumer-facing and has a strong accessibility mission, which can be appealing for mission-driven engineers.
  • Spain offices are engineering-focused, meaning most relocation opportunities are for software engineers rather than non-technical roles.
