What You Will Do

  • Design and implement user-centric features from frontend to backend, ensuring quality and performance throughout the stack.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, and fellow engineers to architect intuitive and scalable solutions.

  • Own projects end-to-end — from concept and design to implementation, testing, and deployment.

  • Contribute to a modern, well-maintained codebase using tools like React, TypeScript, Node.js, and Next.js.

  • Drive quality and security best practices across the engineering lifecycle to maintain a high standard of reliability and safety.

  • Recent experience working with React and full-stack JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks.

  • Strong track record of building user-facing web products, especially in startup environments (Seed to Series B).

  • Demonstrated ability to think like a builder or founder — you enjoy ownership and see products through from idea to execution.

  • Experience contributing meaningfully to small engineering teams or startup founding teams.

Preferred

  • Degree in Computer Science or a related field, especially from a top program or relevant technical bootcamp.

  • Previous experience at high-growth startups with complex product needs.

  • Familiarity with modern technologies like React Query/Tanstack, tRPC, and responsive HTML/CSS.

  • Deep understanding of secure development practices and building systems that prioritize privacy and data safety.
