🚀 About Tandem
F*ck swiping. Seriously. We’re Tandem, and we’re making dating fun again. We believe that bringing a friend along makes dating safer, less awkward, and a hell of a lot more fun. That’s where you come in. We’re looking for a creative and driven Software/Product Engineer to help us build the future of dating.

We want someone who is passionate about creating amazing user experiences and isn't afraid to get their hands dirty in a fast-paced startup environment.

- Collaborating with the team to design and implement new product features.
- Writing clean, efficient, and maintainable code in Rust for our backend services.
- Building and maintaining our CI/CD pipelines to ensure we can ship features quickly and reliably.
- Taking part in product discussions and bringing your own ideas to the table.
- Being a key player in a small, tight-knit team of awesome people.
