• Develop scalable backend systems that serve dynamic, high-performance content at scale
• Work across the full stack — frontend (TypeScript, React) and backend (Python) — wherever the problem leads
• Design and run A/B experiments to measure the impact of your work on user acquisition and activation
• Partner with Product, Design, and Data Science to identify high-impact growth opportunities and iterate quickly
• Maintain performance and reliability standards for user-facing properties
• Write code that's readable, reviewable, and built with the next engineer in mind
