• Make architectural decisions that balance speed, scalability, security, and maintainability.
• Lead by example through high-quality code, thoughtful reviews, and strong engineering practices.
• Collaborate with product and design to shape requirements, scope solutions, and manage tradeoffs.
• Mentor mid-level engineers and contribute to the growth of the team.
• Improve system performance, reliability, and observability in production environments.
• Drive adoption of best practices around testing, CI/CD, and code quality.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with significant full-stack ownership .
• Expert-level experience with React (hooks, advanced patterns, performance optimization).
• Strong backend experience with Node.js and modern frameworks.
• Proficiency in TypeScript across frontend and backend.
• Strong understanding of system design, API design, and data modeling.
• Experience working with relational and NoSQL databases.
• Proven ability to work independently and lead technical initiatives.
• Strong communication skills and comfort influencing technical decisions.

Strong Plus

• Experience designing systems that operate at scale or support high-availability requirements.
• Cloud experience (AWS preferred), including deployments, monitoring, and cost awareness.
• Experience with Docker and containerized workloads.
• Familiarity with microservices, event-driven systems, or message queues.
• Experience in security-conscious or regulated environments (e.g., fintech, payments, enterprise platforms).

What Success Looks Like

• You ship high-impact features with minimal supervision.
• You proactively identify architectural risks and propose solutions.
• Other engineers look to you for guidance and technical direction.
• The codebase becomes more reliable, maintainable, and scalable over time.

Why Join

• High ownership and autonomy.
