THE OPPORTUNITY

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you will play a critical role in shaping the technical direction of our platform.

Beyond hands-on development, you will serve as a technical leader—guiding architecture decisions, mentoring engineers, and driving initiatives that raise the bar for engineering quality and Execution. This role requires strong ownership, deep problem-solving skills, and excellent communication. You will operate in a small, highly collaborative team where clarity, accountability, and impact matter. Experience building AI-powered features or using AI tools to improve engineering productivity is a strong plus.

  • Mentor engineers: coach and support teammates through code reviews, design discussions, and problem-solving
  • Own complex problems: drive investigation, debugging, and resolution of performance and scalability challenges
  • Drive execution: translate product requirements into clear technical designs and well-scoped Jira tickets
  • Collaborate cross-functionally: work closely with product and design partners to deliver impactful solutions
  • Establish best practices: improve standards around code quality, performance, observability, and reliability
  • Champion improvement: introduce new tools, patterns, or approaches—including AI-enabled workflows—where they add real value

What You Bring

  • 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong full stack ownership
  • Expertise in Node.js and modern JavaScript/TypeScript development
  • Strong experience with React and modern frontend patterns
  • Production experience with PHP and MySQL
  • Working knowledge of Python for backend services, scripting, or integrations
  • Experience building and operating systems on AWS
  • Proven ability to design scalable architectures and optimize system performance
  • Deep problem-solving and debugging skills across the full stack
  • Demonstrated experience acting as a technical lead and mentoring engineers
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Nice to Have

  • Experience building or integrating AI-powered features
  • Familiarity with LangGraph, LangChain, or similar agent-based frameworks
  • Experience using AI tools to improve engineering velocity and code quality
  • Background in DevOps and CI/CD practices
  • Experience with Cypress or end-to-end testing frameworks

1 Month – Ramp up on systems, ship initial contributions, and build context across the platform and team.

3 Months – Own features end-to-end, mentor peers, and influence architectural decisions.

6 Months – Lead a major technical initiative, establish guardrails, and raise the bar on
