Responsibilities

Full Stack Ownership: Contribute across the entire software development lifecycle, from gathering user requirements and designing UI/UX solutions to developing robust backend APIs and ensuring seamless integration between front-end and back-end components. If you had to choose, however, you’d say you prefer playing with complex data structures over designing the perfect form completion flow

Collaboration: Work closely with product managers, UX designers, and other engineering teams to translate user needs and business requirements into technical specifications and compelling product features

Performance & Optimization: Identify and address performance bottlenecks in both frontend and backend systems, ensuring optimal responsiveness, scalability, and efficiency of our applications

Code Quality & Standards: Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code for both UI and backend components, adhering to high coding standards and participating actively in code reviews

Technical Leadership: Mentor and guide junior engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, continuous learning, and innovation within the team

System Design: Participate in architectural discussions, contributing to the design of scalable, resilient, and observable distributed systems

Troubleshooting & Support: Take ownership of issues from development to production, providing support and troubleshooting to ensure the stability and reliability of our services, with a keen eye on user-facing aspects

Stay Current: Keep abreast of the latest UI/UX trends, frontend technologies, and backend advancements, proactively recommending and implementing improvements

Look for ways to leverage generative ai in your work and in our product, in truly useful ways. As gen ai advances, you’ll be right there, ready to adopt
