Are you a strong technical mind who loves solving complex problems, building cutting-edge products, and working with autonomy? We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer to join our growing team and help shape the future of our platforms and technologies.

This is more than just writing code - you'll be owning projects end-to-end, making architectural decisions, and contributing to high-impact, high-scale systems. You'll have the chance to lead, grow, and work on truly meaningful work in a modern tech stack.

What You'll Be Doing

• Build secure, scalable backend systems (mostly in Node.js, with some Python).
• Develop rich, responsive UIs using React and modern frontend tooling.
• Architect APIs, design clean data models, and ensure smooth integration across services.
• Own your work from design to deployment - and support it in production.
• Work across a modern DevOps environment using containers, CI/CD, cloud platforms, and monitoring tools.
• Apply security best practices at every stage of development.
• Collaborate across teams - or work solo when needed. Your initiative is valued.
• What We're Looking For (Must-Haves)
• Strong Technical Skills from the list below
• Start-up experience - you're comfortable in fast-moving, dynamic environments
• Currently in a hands-on development role - actively coding and contributing
• Able to work independently - you don't need much direction to get things done
• Experience building and scaling cloud-based applications from the ground up
• Strong problem-solving skills - you can tackle tough challenges effectively
• A portfolio with real examples - ideally live, public projects that show what you can do

• Skilled in designing RESTful APIs
• Comfortable with testing (e.g., using Jest)
• 2+ years of experience with Python for backend work or scripting
• Familiar with Flask and writing clean, maintainable code
• Experience working with both SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Redis, DynamoDB)

Frontend Development

• 5+ years of experience building complex applications with React
• Strong understanding of React fundamentals - Hooks, Context API, Component Lifecycle
• Able to turn designs/mockups into fast, user-friendly UIs
• Experience with state management tools like Redux

Infrastructure & Security

• Experience with containerized deployments (e.g., Docker)

DevOps (Required)

• Strong experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps)
• Comfortable deploying and managing apps on cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or GCP

Nice-to-Haves (Not Required)

• Experience training AI models
• Working with large, unstructured or semi-structured datasets
• Building machine learning-powered applications

Why You'll Love This Role

• Autonomy & Impact - We trust you to run with your ideas and build things that matter
• Cutting-edge Projects - Get hands-on with modern stacks and tools, and experiment with emerging tech
• Leadership Opportunities - Help shape the direction of our tech and mentor others
• Supportive Team - Work with smart, collaborative people who value both independence and teamwork
