Role summary
Own end-to-end feature delivery across backend services (Java/Node. js/Javascript) and a
modern React UI. You’ll define API contracts and data models, harden reliability, and mentor
teammates while partnering closely with Product and Design.
● Clear communication and product sense; bias for pragmatic, secure solutions.
● Comfortable with design docs/RFCs, code reviews, cross-functional collaboration.
● Competence with Git, CI/CD, and observability (logs/metrics/traces).
● Sound security hygiene (least privilege, secret management, input validation).
● Thrive in an iterative startup environment with ownership and accountability.

What you’ll do
● Design and build scalable services in Java (SpringBoot) and Node.js /TypeScript
with clean REST APIs.
● Lead frontend implementation in React (hooks, routing, state management such as
Zustand).
● Shape data models for relational DBs (Postgres/MySQL), including indexing,
migrations, and query tuning.
● Establish service patterns: auth (OAuth/JWT), idempotency, retries/backoff,
observability, and cost/perf guardrails.
● Raise engineering quality: testing strategies (unit/integration/e2e), CI/CD, code
reviews, documentation.
● Collaborate on product discovery; translate user needs into pragmatic technical
designs.

What you’ve done
● 5+ years building production systems across Java and JavaScript/TypeScript.
● Delivered API-driven features end-to-end (contract design, versioning, pagination,
error models).
● Strong SQL fundamentals (joins, transactions, normalization) and practical ORM
experience.
● Solid React fundamentals and API-driven UI development.
Nice to have
● AI features in production (LLM tool use, RAG/embeddings, evaluations/guardrails).
● Working knowledge of telephony/voice (Twilio, SIP/WebRTC concepts).
● OpenTelemetry, security hardening, performance budgets, or cost optimization.

Success in 6–12 months
● Reliable services with clear SLOs and meaningful latency/error-budget
improvements.
● A shared service/component library and API guidelines that speed up delivery.
● Mentored engineers owning features confidently and shipping with quality.
