You’ll work closely with product, design, and engineering leadership to design systems that are clean, reliable, and forward-thinking.

• Experience with modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React, Vue, or Svelte)
• Solid understanding of software engineering fundamentals: algorithms, data structures, system design
• Experience working with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
• An ownership mindset: you don’t just solve problems — you identify them and fix them
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
Bonus Points If You Have:
• Experience with microservices architecture
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code
• Prior startup or high-growth environment experience
• Contributions to open source projects
Compensation & Benefits:
