Solve Complex Problems: Debug, diagnose, and dismantle architectural challenges with finesse.
Collaborate & Influence: Work closely with Product, Design, and GTM teams to align tech with business.
Drive Delivery: Own the roadmap, lead execution, and ensure on-time, high-quality releases.
Innovate Constantly: Introduce and champion new tools, patterns, and practices that elevate our engineering game.

💡 What We’re Looking For:

8+ years of experience as a Staff/Senior Engineer or equivalent.

Hands-on experience building APIs in TypeScript (Express is a plus).
Bonus points if you’ve played with modern frontends (React, Angular, Vue).
Deep database expertise (SQL & NoSQL), with performance tuning skills.
Proven success building on the cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure).
Containerization know-how—Kubernetes or Docker is your playground.
You’ve built and scaled platforms that handle real-world load.
Strong leadership, mentoring, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
You love tackling tough architecture challenges head-on.
Familiarity with DevOps and IaC (CloudFormation is a plus).
