• Contribute directly to both server-side and client-side development across the entire stack.
• Write and review technical design documents, system diagrams, and reference implementations.
• Evaluate and implement new tools, frameworks, and best practices to continuously improve our platform.
• Enhance observability, performance, scalability, and security throughout our system.
• Share knowledge and insights to foster team growth and improvement.

• Highly skilled in both server-side and client-side software development.
• Technically Proficient: Familiar with cloud development (AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure).
• Experienced with Test Driven Development (TDD), RESTful APIs, React, MVC frameworks, and security concerns (e.g., XSS attacks).
• Fundamentally Strong in Computer Science Concepts: You can explain concepts like Big O notation, pointers, composition vs. inheritance, and data structures such as arrays, sets, and linked lists.
• Database-Savvy: Proficient in SQL and NoSQL databases, and understand operations like CRUD, indexes, and joins.
• Cloud Infrastructure Expert: Comfortable working with cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS Lambda, ECS, EKS, Aurora) and utilizing Infrastructure as Code (IAC).
• Customer-Centric: Passionate about clean code and building customer-driven solutions with a focus on quality and reliability.

All team members at LawnStater are expected to embody our core values which are: Be data-driven, Get shit done, People are critical, Challenge the status quo, Be scrappy, and Be the Customer.
