• Write clean, testable, and efficient code, continuously improving architecture and development practices through code reviews and refactoring.
• Contribute to technical strategy, balancing pragmatic decision‑making with long‑term scalability and system health.
• Mentor and collaborate with peers, helping elevate engineering standards and culture through example and feedback.

What We’re Looking For

• Typically has 6+ years of software development experience. Candidates with more experience are encouraged to apply.
• Proven track record of delivering high‑quality applications and features to production.

• Practical experience using AI tools (e.g., Copilot, Cursor, or Claude Code) to improve development workflows and productivity.
• Strong experience with relational and document‑oriented databases, including performance tuning and scaling.
• Proficiency in Node.js, TypeScript, and frontend frameworks such as React.
• Familiarity with automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and modern code management practices.
• Passion for clean code, design patterns, and continuous improvement.
