About Tinyhood

At Tinyhood, we believe all parents should feel empowered with the knowledge they need to help their families thrive. We are reimagining parenting education by combining best-in-class technology and design with on-demand cinematic-quality parenting classes taught by leading experts.

About you

You're not a ninja, rock-star or superhero. You're a talented engineer who knows how to craft elegant solutions to challenging technical problems. You have great attention to detail and also know how to ship new features and capabilities quickly with high quality. You thrive in an environment that doesn't always have all the answers, but depends on you to help define the right questions with creativity and thoughtfulness. You can communicate complex engineering topics clearly, and enjoy working closely with a cross-functional team of marketers, designers and product managers. You are comfortable debating technical architecture and best practices, but you don't always have to be right, and know when to ask for help. You want to work on a product that makes a difference in people's lives.
