Lindsay Rybar, HR Partner

I know Lindsay from my time at OnDeck. We had a chance to meet for coffee on 3/3/2017 to catch up and to learn more about Ibotta. She informed me that the company is growing pretty fast right now and they plan to add 20-30 engineers before the end of the year. She said that I could put her down as a referral once I apply and she introduced me to 2 engineers at the company.

Lucas is one of the two engineers that Lindsay introduced me to. We had a chance to meet for coffee on 3/22/2017 and it went pretty well. We talked about what it's like to work at Ibotta as an engineer, his journey from bootcamp grad to engineer and he gave me a few tips on how to stand out from everyone. He gave me tips on how to approach the technical challenge once I apply and he offered to look at my code, portfolio, or resume if I ever need a second set of eyes.
