This role is well-suited for an engineer who enjoys building practical, user-facing tools, iterating on established systems, and shipping high-quality features within a modern, cloud-native environment. You'll collaborate closely with your engineering teammates and product partners to deliver thoughtful, maintainable solutions.

What We're Looking For

Fullstack Experience: 3+ years of experience building and shipping production-ready software across the stack.

Backend Strength: Experience building APIs and backend services in a production environment. Experience with Go is a plus.

Frontend Experience: Experience building React-based applications and integrating them with backend APIs.

Engineering Fundamentals: Strong foundation in software engineering principles and a consistent ability to write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code.

Systems Familiarity: Exposure to cloud-native and distributed systems concepts (e.g., Kubernetes, event-driven systems, Kafka, gRPC/Protobuf).

Collaboration & Communication: Comfortable working with product partners and engineering teammates to deliver scoped features effectively.

Growth Orientation: Eagerness to learn, improve systems incrementally, and take ownership of well-defined projects.
