Skills

  • 10+ years professional software engineering experience with substantial full-stack work.
  • Proven experience leading engineering teams or pods and making technical trade-offs.
  • Strong frontend expertise with modern JavaScript/TypeScript and React.
  • Significant backend experience with Python (Django) and Node.js/TypeScript for APIs and services.
  • Familiarity with containerized deployments and Kubernetes.
  • Experience with relational databases, especially PostgreSQL.
  • Knowledge of event-driven systems and tools like Kafka.
  • Experience with testing strategies, CI/CD pipelines, performance, and observability.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and mentor a small team of engineers, conduct code reviews, and provide architectural guidance.
  • Collaborate with Product and Design to convert customer needs into scalable technical solutions and roadmap priorities.
  • Architect and implement complex full-stack features using React, TypeScript, Python (Django), Node.js, and PostgreSQL.
  • Own delivery from design through deployment, including performance, reliability, monitoring, and incident response.
  • Drive engineering best practices: testing, CI/CD, code quality, and tooling improvements.
  • Identify technical debt and propose practical approaches to reduce complexity and improve maintainability.
  • Partner with engineering leadership on system scaling, infrastructure, and platform decisions.
  • Build empathy for customers to ensure products are intuitive, reliable, and impactful.

Education

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field preferred or equivalent work experience.
  • Advanced degree (MS/PhD) is a plus but not required.

Benefits
