  • Passionate about creating user-respectful ad experiences that don’t compromise performance or design.
  • A team-first leader—comfortable mentoring peers and representing engineering in cross-functional discussions.
  • Self-driven and able to take projects from concept to launch independently.

  • Why You'll Love Working at TextNow
