We try to push the boundaries of what customers expect a background check to be while remaining compliant and accurate. For example, we offer a white label applicant portal, allow other products to use our API via OAuth, and are using machine learning to predict how long a background check will take. We work closely with customers and applicants to identify real problems they face in their workflows, opportunities to increase their data quality, and ways to help them stay compliant. By taking smart risks, we are leveraging technology in ways that the industry has never seen before.

It’s an exciting time to join Meter as we’re in the building phase, preparing for launch. Our agility as a small startup allows us to ship quickly and make decisions without a ton of bureaucracy or red tape. Engineers are empowered to propose new ideas, drive projects, and make decisions to move things forward. While it’s safe to say there’s a high sense of urgency, it’s not frantic. We love to ship early and often, then iterate as needed. In fact, we regularly give kudos at our weekly all-hands meeting, and a recent theme has been “Go Fast Kudos.”
In the next year we plan to double our engineering team from ~15 to ~30. If you’re excited about joining a fast-moving team, we’d love to hear from you!

Rapidly Growing Team
At Leapfin, we deploy daily, work in 1-2 week sprint cycles, and have a high sense of urgency. Decisions to act are always better than indecisions. Sometimes engineers who come from big companies are fearful of making decisions themselves because they’re so used to asking for approval. It’s the opposite here. When you come on board, it’s because we hired you for a reason and trust your expertise, and our expectation is that you take ownership over everything you work on. There’s no red tape to jump through (other than budget approval), so we all get things done fast. While this fast-paced environment inevitably means you’ll make some mistakes along the way, we view them as team mistakes, and always learn from them.

Rapidly Growing Team
Our success rests on our ability to keep innovation alive at every level of the company. We know that the fastest way to suppress innovation is to make it unsafe to fail, which is why we’ve worked hard to ensure that everyone at Mode is able to take risks. We’ll try something out even if we’re not 100% sure it will succeed because we know that as long as we did the best we could to de-risk it, no one will shame us if it doesn’t work out. In everything we do, we have a “Shared Responsibility, Shared Risk” mentality.
Making it safe to fail requires a blameless post-mortem process, and for that, we have After Action Reviews (AARs). During an AAR, we start with the assumption that everyone did the best they could with the information they had at the time. Participants focus on how to understand and improve the systems and processes that led to the failure, rather than who did what wrong. We use these meetings as opportunities to reinforce that Mode is a safe place to fail, build stronger safeguards against future failures, and bring the team closer together.

While scale is important, we also place a high emphasis on a great candidate experience and are transparent about what you can expect throughout our process. At LaunchDarkly our goal is to change the way every software engineering team deploys their code. We are assembling an unstoppable team of talented people and that begins with a great candidate experience. The first call is with our Talent team, followed by a brief conversation with one of our engineering leaders (or product or design leaders, respectively). Our goal is to learn more about you, your interests, and your skills. And we want to give you the opportunity to discover if LaunchDarkly is right for you.
If you are an engineer applying for an individual contributor role, the next step is a short coding project. This helps us understand how you approach problems as a developer. And it allows you to see the types of challenges our engineers work on day to day. The project you complete will serve as the basis for later steps in the interview.
We then proceed to a virtual onsite interview consisting of:
We’ve built our interviewing process to assess candidates holistically. Once we decide to make an offer, we match the candidate to the team (or squad, as we like to call them) that best matches their interests and the team’s needs. Squads are typically six to eight engineers and each squad works closely with a product manager, product designer, and engineering manager to achieve a distinct mission. We always make sure each of our squads have a mix of senior and junior talent and encourage movement to different squads so engineers can be exposed to different projects and technologies.
You’ll work closely with folks from every other department. We look for people who will thrive working as part of a collaborative, high-performing team. We feel strongly that teams do it better.

Not only has the rise of influencers changed the landscape of fame, but technology has enabled celebrities of all kinds to reach more fans every day. Our growth is a combination of a new and rapidly growing market, and we’re excited to be pioneers in this uncharted territory.
All of this growth has created a ton of opportunity to be a mentor, manager, and founding member of a new company. We’re spinning up entirely new teams and also need engineers to help us scale to millions of users, build out search and discovery on Cameo, and improve our UI and video performance as we’ve started to reach the limits of what React Native can do. If you want to learn more or get in touch, please reach out to Mara at [email protected] or Alex at [email protected] You can also check out this podcast where our CEO, Steven, talks about where Cameo is headed.
