Collaborate with product, design, QA, and other engineers in sprint planning, story estimation, and technical decision-making.
Proactively identify technical debt, bugs, and performance bottlenecks, and suggest architectural improvements.
Conduct thorough code reviews, mentor junior developers, and uphold engineering best practices.
Participate in shaping technical direction, infrastructure decisions (e.g., hosting, CI/CD, observability), and scaling strategies as we grow.

Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
4+ years of professional full-stack experience building production-grade applications.
Strong proficiency with JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, React, Node.js/Bun/Deno, and SQL databases (PostgreSQL preferred).
