Job description

About the Role

We’re looking for a Developer L1 to join our engineering team. You’ll work on real software problems from day one — writing code, fixing bugs, and building features that actually ship. This isn’t a “shadow someone for six months” role. You’ll contribute to production systems early on, with support from senior engineers who care about helping you grow.

What You’ll Do

• Write clean, maintainable code across the stack
• Debug issues in existing systems and implement fixes
• Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and designers on feature development
• Participate in code reviews — both giving and receiving feedback
• Write unit tests and contribute to automated testing efforts
• Work within an agile team: standups, sprints, retrospectives
• Learn the codebase fast and ask good questions when something doesn’t make sense

Nice to Have

• Experience with REST APIs or web frameworks
• Exposure to SQL or NoSQL databases
• Any internship or project experience shipping real software
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines or cloud platforms

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits
• Mentorship from experienced engineers
• Opportunities to grow into higher-level roles
• A team that values good work over performative busyness

Work authorization: OPT candidates are welcome to apply.
