• Own services throughout their lifecycle — including implementation, testing, deployment, observability, and incident response.
• Work closely with Product, Design, and Architecture to define the “what” and “how” of features, ensuring solutions are both user-friendly and technically sound.
• Partner with infrastructure and platform teams to optimize system performance and reliability
• Mentor and support engineers across the team, fostering a culture of quality, ownership, and continuous improvement.
• Contribute to cross-functional planning, architectural reviews, and team-wide engineering practices.

Experience:

• Deep expertise in TypeScript, ReactJS, and Node.js (Express or similar frameworks).
• Experience designing APIs, working with relational databases (PostgreSQL or similar), and building services in a distributed, cloud-based architecture.
• A strong product mindset — you work well with Product and Design and care about delivering intuitive and elegant user experiences.
• Ability to collaborate closely with Architects to make smart technical tradeoffs, and drive alignment across teams.
• Passion for craftsmanship and high engineering standards (testing, monitoring, documentation, scalability).
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to lead technical discussions and build consensus across functions.
• A growth mindset and interest in mentoring others and upleveling the team.

Nice to Haves:

• Experience with PostgreSQL, Docker, and Kubernetes.
• Exposure to low-code/no-code tools, workflow engines, or visual development platforms.
