About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer who thrives on end-to-end ownership and high-velocity execution. You will build and scale core product experiences across frontend and backend, with the backend stack primarily in Golang and frontend stack in ReactJS and React Native.

This is a hands-on senior role for someone who can take ambiguous, user-facing problems and drive them through design, implementation, and reliable production rollout. You'll work closely with Product, Design, Frontend, Data, and DevOps to deliver features that improve real consumer outcomestrial experience, membership conversion, engagement, retention, and platform reliability.

We're especially excited about engineers who have built and shipped in consumer product startups, where speed, quality, and user empathy matter equally. If you value your time, avoid over-engineering, and care deeply about impact, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

Full Stack Product Development

• Own features end-to-end across frontend + backend, from requirements to production outcomes.
• Translate user problems into pragmatic technical designs and ship high-quality solutions quickly.
• Build consumer-grade experiences that are fast, reliable, and intuitive across the user journey.
• Collaborate tightly with Frontend engineers to deliver clean APIs and seamless UI integration.

Backend Development (Golang)

• Design, build, and maintain scalable backend services in Go.
• Develop APIs and service-layer logic for core product flows (trial booking, membership, scheduling, engagement, payments, etc. ).
• Own data modeling and storage patterns using SQL/NoSQL systems (based on current stack).
• Ensure backend services are secure, observable, and resilient (auth, rate limiting, logging, metrics, tracing).
• Improve performance and reliability: reduce latency, optimize queries, handle concurrency safely, and ensure graceful failure modes.
• Integrate third-party tools and platforms (payments, notifications, analytics, video, CRM, etc. ) cleanly and safely.

Mobile Development (React Native)

• Develop and maintain our React Native apps across iOS and Android with a strong focus on stability and UX polish. 
• Implement complex flows including navigation patterns, deep linking, background tasks, push notifications, and in-app updates.
• Work with device APIs, sensors, native modules, and third-party SDKs when needed.
• Build smooth, delightful mobile interactions through animations and gestures (Reanimated, Gesture Handler).
• Own performance excellence on mobile: optimize memory, FPS, bundle size, and rendering behavior.
• Manage the practical realities of consumer apps: CI/CD pipelines, OTA releases, store compliance, and version rollouts. 

Engineering Ownership & Execution

• Own features end-to-end: understand the user journey, clarify requirements, ship, and follow through until impact is achieved.
• Write clean, testable, and maintainable code with high standards for reliability.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Design, Backend, Care/Sales (as needed) to deliver aligned outcomes. 
• Participate actively in code reviewsraising the bar for quality and architecture.
• Investigate and fix real production issues quicklyperformance regressions, crashes, UI bugs, and behavioral edge cases.
• Improve frontend standards, tooling, and developer experience across both web and mobile.
• 
  

Engineering Ownership & Execution

• Drive architecture and technical decisions that balance speed, maintainability, and scalability.
• Review code, mentor teammates, and raise engineering standards across stack.
• Troubleshoot production issues quickly and thoroughlybugs, outages, performance regressions, data inconsistencies.
• Improve developer experience: tooling, release safety, automated checks, and documentation.
• Partner with DevOps/Infra to improve CI/CD, deployments, monitoring, and incident response.

What Success Looks Like

In the first few months, you'll be successful if you:

• Independently ship full-stack features that move key product metrics.
• Build backend systems that are stable under real consumer traffic and edge cases.
• Make pragmatic, time-respecting decisionssolve the right problems without unnecessary complexity.
• Improve reliability/performance and proactively reduce tech debt in high-impact areas.
• Become a trusted owner of major parts of the product and platform.

Required Skills & Experience

• 4+ years of professional software engineering experience, with full-stack ownership in production systems.
• Strong backend development experience, ideally 2+ years in Golang (or equivalent with ability to ramp fast).
• Solid understanding of:
• RESTful API design, versioning, and security best practices
• Service architecture (monolith modularization or microservices)
• Concurrency, performance tuning, and profiling in Go
• Data modeling and database reliability (transactions, indexing, query optimization)
• Caching strategies, background jobs, queues, and event-driven patterns
• Strong frontend fundamentals (React ecosystem preferred), enough to execute full-stack features confidently.
• Experience working with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud deployments (AWS/GCP/Azure).
• Comfort operating in agile/iterative environments with high product collaboration.

Nice to Have

• Prior experience in consumer product startups (apps where UX, retention, and speed matter).
• Experience with:
• Payments/subscriptions, renewals, and webhook-driven systems
• Real-time services (WebSockets, video/live sessions, chat)
• Observability tooling (Prometheus/Grafana, ELK, Datadog, OpenTelemetry, Sentry)
• Infrastructure-as-code and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform)
• Data pipelines / analytics events / experimentation platforms (even if not owning experiments)
• Built and scaled systems handling large user bases and high uptime requirements.

Traits We Strongly Value

• High ownership: you take problems from start to finish and care about post-launch outcomes.
• Execution & results driven: you prioritize shipping value, not perfect theory.
• Time-respecting engineer: pragmatic solutions, no over-engineering.
• User empathy: you think like a consumer and respect simplicity.
• Startup mindset: comfortable with ambiguity, speed, and wide responsibility.
• Team multiplier: you raise the bar through mentoring, reviews, and calm decision-making.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to own full-stack product areas end-to-end.
• A fast-moving, collaborative engineering team where quality and execution both matter.
• Real impact on consumer outcomes and platform scale.
• Competitive compensation and benefits.
