  • Foster growth: Mentor colleagues, share knowledge, and continuously learn new technologies.
  • Innovate with agility: Participate in diverse, exciting development projects, leveraging pair programming and agile methodologies.
What you bring

We’re looking for a Product‑Minded Engineer who resonates with our values and has the following:

  • Product Thinking: You care about delivering value to customers and users, not just writing code.
  • Technical Expertise:
    • Hands‑on experience with React or other JavaScript frameworks.
    • Knowledge of RESTful APIs or GraphQL.
    • Familiarity with microservices architecture and public/private cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).
    • Basic understanding of application and cloud security principles, and how to build secure, reliable software.
  • Ownership Mentality: You take initiative, drive features to completion, and thrive on responsibility.
  • Entrepreneurial Spirit: You think like a business owner, understanding how your work impacts our goals.
  • Problem‑Solver: You see challenges as opportunities for growth.

  • Transparency and Openness: Everything is open for discussion in our inclusive and supportive culture.
What to expect in your first 180 days
By Week 1 you will:
  • Pair with a colleague and ship something. Small is fine, working is the point.
  • Start learning the business: who our customers are, what we’re building toward, why it matters.
  • Connect with the team and empower the team.
By Month 1 you will:
  • Own a topic: have your name on a topic, be the main driver of that topic from refinement to delivery. Already shipping the first iteration of it.
  • Have a good understanding of the codebase and how our services connect.
  • Know enough about our customers and domain to push back on bad ideas, including ours.
By Month 3‑6 you will:
  • Be the undisputed owner of your domain: the go‑to person, the one who spots problems before they’re reported and fixes them before they’re assigned.
  • Have shipped something that visibly moved a metric: adoption, reliability, performance, or revenue.
  • Operate fully autonomously. You know when to decide and when to align.
  • Raise the bar for the people around you, you push us forward, you are a multiplier. Not just through your own work, but through your reviews, your feedback, and how you onboard whoever we hire after you.

We are looking forward to your application!
