About this role

## Who We Are

The Motley Fool is a purpose-driven financial services company on a mission to make the world smarter, happier, and richer. For 30 years, we’ve been helping people make better investment decisions through transparency, education, and a healthy dose of Foolish fun.

• Design and harden integrations with the **third-party APIs** that power our content, market data, and subscription experiences. We care a lot about doing this well: timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, fallbacks, and graceful degradation when upstream services m...
