• Contribute to a collaborative engineering culture through code reviews and knowledge sharing.

Must-Have Qualifications

• 4–6 years of professional software development experience.
• Strong proficiency in at least one high-level programming language, such as Python, Go (Golang), C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, Kotlin, Scala, or Ruby.
• Strong understanding of Data Structures, Algorithms, Object-Oriented Programming, and System Design.
• Hands-on experience building, scaling, or maintaining production applications with a user base of 100K+ users.
• Proven experience working on high-traffic, large-scale consumer or B2B products where performance, reliability, and scalability were critical.
• Experience developing modern Backend, Frontend, or Full Stack applications.
• Strong understanding of APIs, databases, and scalable application architecture.
• Demonstrated ability to effectively use AI coding assistants to accelerate software development while maintaining high standards of code quality and engineering best practices.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and a strong sense of ownership.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working on platform or infrastructure products is highly preferred.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Familiarity with microservices, distributed systems, CI/CD, and containerization.
• Experience working in product companies or fast-paced startup environments.

Who You Are

• You enjoy working in small, fast-moving teams where every engineer has significant ownership.
• You're comfortable wearing multiple hats and contributing across different parts of the stack when needed.
• You've previously worked on products operating at scale and understand the engineering challenges of supporting 100K+ active users, including performance optimization, reliability, and scalability.
• You have a product mindset and care deeply about performance, scalability, and user experience.
• You're a proactive problem solver who enjoys taking initiative and driving projects independently.
• You embrace modern engineering practices, including the effective use of AI tools to enhance productivity without compromising software quality.
• You value collaboration, continuous learning, and building high-quality software.

Why Join Us?

• Join a high-impact engineering team with significant ownership and autonomy.
• Solve challenging engineering problems with a focus on performance, scalability, and reliability.
