Job description

Overview

Own the full development lifecycle of features end to end — from conception through deployment and operation. Build scalable, maintainable, and robust full-stack systems. Collaborate closely with other engineers and product stakeholders to design solutions. Lead by example and raise the bar for engineering practices and quality.

Responsibilities

• Own the full development lifecycle of features end to end — from conception through deployment and operation.
• Build scalable, maintainable, and robust full-stack systems.
• Collaborate closely with other engineers and product stakeholders to design solutions.
• Lead by example and raise the bar for engineering practices and quality.

Requirements

• 6+ years of software engineering experience for senior candidates (strong mid-level engineers with 3+ years also considered).
• Strong across the entire stack — the React ecosystem (state management, component frameworks) on the front end, and TypeScript/NestJS services and APIs on the back end.
• Deliver maintainable, well-tested, production-ready architecture and code.
• Strong applied database skills — designing well-structured schemas, writing and optimizing queries, managing migrations, and reasoning about performance with Prisma against PostgreSQL/Aurora.
• You balance technical depth with product understanding and apply sound judgment when making tradeoffs.
• Familiarity with app development using tools like React Native, and publishing apps to the app stores is a plus.
