• Having a real voice & ownership - we’re a small, early-stage team, and when you join, you’ll be working across the whole system and making calls on how it should evolve

• Contributing outside of code - could be helping us with some compliance deep dives to helping someone with an urgent issue; early stages can be a little less defined
