What does success look like for you? For folks here, it means thriving in a high-autonomy environment and tackling complex problems in a technical space that is constantly changing and evolving.

As a Software Engineer at Dapper, you'll be at the forefront of our mission, developing your professional expertise and gaining proficiency in various technical aspects of your role.

  • Ownership and Prioritization: You take ownership of small-to-medium tasks, ensuring they are planned and executed effectively. You can prioritize tasks effectively, avoiding unnecessary focus on unimportant details.
