Job Description
We are looking for product-minded engineers who want to build critical, user-facing features. We are looking for candidates with a distinct "spike" in technical depth, whether that is crafting complex React UIs or architecting scalable backend systems. We have a stage in our interview process built-in for you to showcase your strengths. If you are already fullstack, a backend wizard who wants to get closer to the user, or a frontend architect ready to own full features, we want to hear from you.
What you'll work on
- Shape product direction and engineering approaches across the stack.
- Build the full lifecycle: Collaborate closely with design and engineering to architect and ship customer-facing functionality from 0-to-1.
- Solve complex technical challenges: Whether it’s optimizing virtualized rendering for large data collections or architecting reliable content management systems, you will tackle hard engineering problems.
- Drive User Experience: Contribute to a smooth, frictionless UX. You will help do the last mile work to move from "working code" into a "great product."
- Improve application performance through profiling and implement scalable solutions that grow with our user base.
What you bring to the table
- 4+ years of software development experience.
- A Technical "Spike": You have deep expertise in EITHER:
- Frontend: Deep knowledge of React, Next.js, and TypeScript. You understand the Virtual DOM, state management complexities, and CSS architecture.
- Backend: Strong systems design skills, API architecture, database optimization, and scalable infrastructure.
- Product Intuition: You have a desire to work on front-facing products that users interact with daily. You care about the "why" as much as the "how."
- Adaptability: You are willing to step outside your comfort zone. If you are backend-heavy, you are willing to touch the frontend (and vice versa) to get a feature over the line.
- Agency & Ownership: You thrive in environments where you define the solution rather than just implementing a spec.
