This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who enjoys owning features end-to-end, mentoring teammates, and shaping our application architecture. You'll work across both backend services and frontend experiences, contributing to a fast, reliable, and innovative SaaS platform.

• Design, build, and maintain scalable backend microservices using Type Script/Node.js. Develop accessible, performant frontend components and workflows in React.
• Collaborate with Product and Engineering to translate ideas into reliable, maintainable features.
• Modernize existing systems and contribute to ongoing refactoring and technical debt reduction.
• Make architectural decisions that balance performance, reliability, cost, and developer experience.
• Integrate modern AI frameworks (Open AI, Anthropic, etc.) into customer-facing and internal features.
• Deploy services to AWS using serverless and container-based technologies (Lambda, Fargate, ECS).
• Write well-tested software using unit tests, integration tests, and other quality practices. Mentor other developers through code reviews, pairing, and collaborative problem‑solving.
• Collaborate closely with QA, Platform Engineering, and Product to deliver high‑quality releases.

• 3+ years of professional software development experience.
• Strong proficiency with Type Script, Node.js, and React.
• Experience with one or more databases:
  • MongoDB
  • MySQL
  • PostgreSQL
• Experience integrating or building workflows with AI/LLM frameworks (Open AI, Anthropic, etc.).
• Hands‑on experience deploying applications to AWS using serverless or container technologies.
• Solid understanding of backend and frontend architecture and how to design for scalability and maintainability.
• Experience with testing frameworks and practices (unit, integration, TDD, etc.).
• Comfortable owning features end‑to‑end and engaging directly with product stakeholders.
• Prior experience mentoring or guiding developers.
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative, team‑oriented mindset.

• Familiarity with Infrastructure‑as‑Code tooling (AWS CDK, Terraform, Cloud Formation).
• Experience with autonomous or AI‑assisted coding agents (Cline, Claude Code, etc.).
• Experience working on multi‑tenant SaaS platforms.
• Exposure to security or compliance standards such as SOC 2 or PCI.
